 I have a client who takes me out to lunch once a month - approximately - and I then give her a short tarot reading when we're through eating. We've been doing this for years.

This summer she visited family in Germany and then toured several countries with her husband and their grandkids. She always brings me something when she travels, which I find very sweet and thoughtful.

This time she brought me a box of Mozart Kugeln from Salzburg, Austria.

Am very familiar with Salzburg for reasons too lengthy to describe here, so I was particularly thrilled.

Mozart Kugeln are a confection with marzipan, nougat and chocolate, all individually wrapped in foil with a picture of Mozart on it. "Kugel" means ball in English. So at home we called these "Mozart's Balls" - of course.

Anyway... long long story... this box of chocolates also contains balls with a picture of Constanze - Mozart's wife - on them. And alas - that's what you see in today's photo.

I have disposed of the ball by way of my stomach by now, which makes this photo historic - ha!

I had a friend many years ago whose family would get a lot of these types of chocolates and they were delicious. However, I don't remember ever talking about Mozart's balls.

LOL, great story to go along with the picture. I like the red of the background; it really pulls out the red in the main subject.
