Oompa Loompas, Cocoa and Jesus
By Christy On Wednesday, October 3, 2007 At 8:43 AM
On the mornings when I drop Brae off for day care and then head to work I am always greeted with the wonderful aroma of chocolate as I near Pleasant Valley Road. Somewhere in the Pencader complex of business warehouses is a Cocoa warehouse. I'm serious! And I don't know what they are up to in the wee hours of the morning, but somehow a delicious chocolate scent fills the air. It's calming.
I imagine that I'm driving near Willy Wonka's chocolate factory and that if I look really closely I'll see an Oompa Loompa sprinkling cocoa out in front of a huge wind fan. Man how awesome would it be if inside those plain warehouses there was really a huge candy land, a chocolate lake, peppermint stick branches and a glass elevator.
There are other times when I'm driving back to work after having gone home during lunch break. And on these drives I use Sunset Lake Boulevard, also known as Route 72. After crossing the intersection for Old Baltimore Pike, I pass a small Church on the right. For the past few weeks it has had an interesting message on the white sign outside the Church doors. "Git Er Done For Jesus." One of these days I will remember to bring my camera and snap a picture. I laugh and shake my head every time I see it. Amazing. I bet Jesus laughs, too.
I think I prefer the imaginary chocolate factory ride.

Are you serious!? That is kind of funny Heather, lol. But I feel bad laughing now!
the area around the hershey plant in Calistoga CA smells like chocolate - it's heavenly. They also use american flyers to transport the peanut butter filling for reeces around. Clean and with a liner of course. But I fantasized about grabbing one of those babies and running off with it **squeek** **squeek** **Squeek**
Hehe, reeses peanut butter!
