[QUOTE="Williamsv, post: 1170281, member: 22323"] Did not mean to upset some by saying that my husband and I eat out every Sunday. We eat at a local family restaurant that serves a delicious buffet lunch every day, but Saturday. Nothing fancy and no alcohol is served. Just a simple country lunch. Our bill for lunch, tea,and tip comes to $26.42. We never eat at expensive restaurants and no fast food except Zaxby's once in a while. For many years I prepared a Sunday meal before I went to church, often starting on Saturday. I have played the piano for over thirty years at my church. As I got older, I just could not fix a meal and get to church. Also for seven years my sister and I carried three meals a day to my mother. I still spend two hours every afternoon with her in assisted living. I have worked all of my life, as did my parents. My husband has battled cancer for five years now. What we and my parents have worked and saved all these years will never be much good to us now, as we are not able to travel and above all cannot get away from responsibilities here. We put our daughter through pharmacy school, six years at UGA, helped her with two residencies , one in Greenville, and the other in Cleveland, Ohio at Cleveland Clinic. She received small stipends so we continued to help her with expenses. She was blessed by earning scholarships each year which helped some, but it was still very expensive. What I am trying to say is enjoy every day. The years get away too fast. If you enjoy eating out, go do it whenever you want to and don't worry about the bill. Believe me I have cut every corner I could through the years to save a dime. Now that I am in the autumn years of my life with winter not far away, I plan to enjoy every day that I can,and above all thank the Good Lord for all my blessings and each day that He gives me.
