Maybe I don&#8217;t do that often enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I woke up to Fanny May Meltaways and cards from my guys.\u00a0 I felt bad; I didn&#8217;t do anything for them.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t feel that bad though because I&#8217;ve been snacking on chocolate all day!\u00a0 Thanks, guys.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, Rich came in and try to sit in his office chair.\u00a0 Immediately, he had a dog in his lap.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not sure why Sascha feels the need to be in a lap, but she is most insistent when she does.\u00a0 I had to take a picture of the over-sized lap dog.\u00a0 It is funny and just too cute.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day to all. Many happy chocolate moments.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_559\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-559\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Big-lap-dog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-559\" title=\"Big lap dog\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Big-lap-dog-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sascha is one oversized lap dog.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_558\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-558\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Puppy-love.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-558\" title=\"Puppy love\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Puppy-love-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-558\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My Valentines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My sister-in-law, Rose, in San Antonio was complaining about being charged extra postage to send small cards in the mail.\u00a0 I wondered at the time why they were so small and who would she be sending them to.\u00a0 Now I know.
