Happy Ground Hog Day! We had a relaxed morning with coffee from the new coffee maker from Alana, Ack hanging out and Anne working on her book - both of us waiting for the mailman. It was a sunny day with highs in the mid-50s. We walked down to the Botanic Garden to enjoy an orchid exhibit that opened today. Beautiful orchids but neither of us really liked the A-Z display. The Botanic Garden itself displays a variety of ecosystems and deserves a visit. If you go, don't miss the fuzzy lazy rat tail desert plant. After the garden, we went shopping and both came away with long winter coats at hugely discounted prices. In the evening we strolled to the Tabard Inn for dinner. The food was good and moderately priced (about $25 for entrees). The service started great; Anne was too warm so they moved us to a cooler room. But the time between courses was long. Great for conversation except that the noise in the room was very high making it difficult to hold a conversation unless you spoke loudly. I learned that the large fellow two tables away couldn't watch 'scary movies.'
