A "Presidential" Date

Believe it or not, the jail administrative office was closed today so I thankfully had the day off. Jay had a meeting this morning but then came home to finish his work day since the school where he works as a YMCA tutor is locked up. However, the Y doesn't have the day off, so he still has to work some.
We went to our tax lady and she did our taxes for us and then we headed to Don Pablos. I have a Bienvenidos card and because we have been there so many times, they gave us $10 off our bill so our actual food bill was only $6.34! Then we headed to the Krohn Conservatory. I wanted some pics and it was something fun to do that didn't cost anything.
A cool Bonsai tree display.
Me sitting in front of the daffodils.




This bench was pretty kewl. I thought it was funny that the little tag on the right side of it says the bench is sponsored by Schwerzinger Pest Control. LOL


They had this neat timeline of Chocolate. In 1893, Milton Hershey had a carmel business that was making $1 million a year. Can you imagine making a million in 1893????? That is incredible. Anyway, he discovered chocolate right around 1893 and sold his carmel business and switched to chocolate. I believe Hershey kisses began in the early 1900's and as of today 25 MILLION kisses are made every DAY!!!! Who eats that much chocolate???

My Valentine!

I was afraid to drive to work this morning because I wasn't sure that I wanted to drive by myself. I am a terrible driver in the snow and ice. Just ask Dad. He had to come and dig me out of someone's front yard a few years ago. Of course, that was back when I had a Mustang. I have a more "snow worthy" car right now, but nonetheless Jay took me in.

When I arrived home, this huge card was sitting on my dresser. How cute! We plan to eat at Olive Garden tomorrow evening (probably along with a hundred other couples). Of course, I already gave him my Valentine when I took him to Gatlinburg TN as a surprise. Happy Valentine's Day!
