Happy Discount Chocolate Day 2016
Posted By Kathleen David on February 15, 2016
Yes, today you can buy massive quantities of chocolates at bargain prices. Sure the quality can be iffy but it’s chocolate!
It is also President’s Day where we celebrate that a number of Presidents were born this month and that you can get a cheap mattress along with reasonably priced linens. Not a discount car holiday really.
We drove from Baltimore to Hartford to visit with my in-laws. We took a bit of a detour to get here but considering the paths to here that were traffic nightmares, we did pretty well getting here in a timely fashion.
Tomorrow is a bit up in the air as to what we are going to do but that will be determined by a number of things including the weather.
The weather has not been kind to us as we have been trying to visit for pretty much the past month. Every time we had it set up, the weather tossed a new storm at us. Since Caroline has this week off from school, we have some leeway for getting back. This is a good thing because there is snow and ice predicted for this evening and then we get into the 50s and have rain.
At least I feel awake this morning. Going outside was an adventure in cold. We saw a car that was idling and where the exhaust was coming out from the tail pipe there was a ring of ice on the ground around the exhaust discharge. I think this is one of those days that you throw a cup of water and you get snowflakes easily or ice balls.
So if you are in the deep freeze, be safe. If you are somewhere warm, enjoy it for all of us human popsicles.
I am grateful for detours that work.
As a chocoholic I can’t believe I almost missed this very important day!
Kudos on keeping up the blog while at Farpoint. That took dedication AND excellent time management. Enjoyed meeting you and hearing you and David on the various panels. You are right that Caroline has really grown taller in the past months.
Look forward to reading the Good/Evil stories. Thanks again for helping me find a copy
Travel safe.
