Happy birthday to me! One of the ways I celebrate is to go to the Philly Flower Show with my sister! We went yesterday, and we had a lovely time. They’ve expanded the show onto one entire floor, and there were many floral displays, although I miss the HUGE garden displays they used to have. I hope that they’ll maybe bring them back, but the show was definitely improved from the year before. They also had all the vendors on the second floor, which was new. We did some fun shopping before hitting the Reading Terminal Market to get some sticky buns and Bassett’s ice cream! I hope you enjoy the photos!
Best Valentine’s Gift Ever
My best Valentine’s gift ever has to be chocolate. But not just any chocolate! Hubby found a local place that makes chocolates that are truly works of art. Tasty, too! What about you?

Baby Cari and My Grandmother
We had to leave many things behind in Cuba when we escaped Castro’s communist regime, so I don’t have many photos from my early life. That makes the few photos that I have even more precious. This photo is of my grandmother and me. She was an amazing woman! After my parents had to flee to avoid being put in jail, my grandparents watched my sister and me in Cuba, and then took us all around Central America and Mexico until we could enter the U.S. legally. After, she took care of us since my mom had to work to support our family. She was a rock in my world, and I miss her to this day.

Magical Winter Nights
We had a chance to jump into the Christmas light season with a trip to Magical Winter Nights. The lights were amazing, and the grandbaby loved walking around, looking at all the different characters. The dinosaurs were his favorite, especially the ones that moved. We were lucky that it was a clear and lovely night! I hope you’re all having a nice holiday weekend!
