Sounds kinda kinky, huh? It’s not. It’s just a midday snack while I do email!
One of the dangers of this faire is that you’ll find a friend (Stephen) who loves jelly beans and thinks you need to eat bunches of them, too! 
The Jelly Belly Candy Company has a “factory” facility, right here in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. I’m told they don’t actually make jelly beans here—I guess it’s mostly a distribution center. But, they do tours, and they have an extensive gift shop. This package of candy Stephen brought for Kelly and I last week is the “smoothie blend!” The flavours are: cherry passion fruit, madarin orange mango, mixed berry, pineapple pear, and strawberry banana. Crazy, but yummy.

Fun, fun, fun!
I’m guessing you’re developing a love of Macro photography, too.
