One of the great perks of living in Buffalo, is that the local grocery store has a Jelly Belly distribution center. Wanting to have a little color in my life, I like to keep some on hand.
Other jelly beans really don't compare to Jelly Belly. How they get all those flavors to taste just like the names they give them, I don't know. I do know that I like them, though.
DJ's on Fort St. is where the Jelly Belly aisle can be found. I like to let my buddies know when I'm walking down this sugar lane. Here's my spring pose.
With summer attire.
Falltime.
And with my winter regalia.
People know that I like Jelly Belly's, so I'll often be given an assorted bag for Christmas.
And Easter, after I've given them up for Lent.
They are nice to have on hand at the office, for guests that stop by or a pick-me-up in the afternoon.
During the Easter Season, I like to carry a few in my pocket to help me experience the joy of Christ's Resurrection.
Good stuff, literally. St. Ignatius would say that non-spiritual consolations, like Jelly Belly's, can help one return to spiritual consolation if they are experiencing a bit of desolation. Desolation or not, Jelly Belly's are good for the soul. I'm grateful that DJ's carries them and thankful to God for making them. Ranch on.
