(Possible repeat. Once in a while I hit "file" instead of "send".)
Anyhow, when I come home from Shaw's I put the "amount saved" shown on the receipt in an envelope. Now, we all know I haven't really saved that money, but I like to think I have.
So once in a while I dip into the envelope and dine out on Shaw's. Today the junior daughter and I went to Abe & Louie's for gin and tonic, rare burgers with skinny fried onion rings, and chocolate-dipped strawberries. And I still have $40 left in the envelope.
The lunch, BTW, was the annual treat for our husband/father. He died eight years ago but we still "take him out for a burger" on his birthday.

That's such a nice way to remember DH & Father on his birthday. Gone but NEVER, EVER forgotten. Such a sweet story. Thank you. Dee Dee

What an excellent idea, Felice. I really need to start doing that. Lunch sounds great too, and a great reason to have it out.

Good supper, Fleece. And a really nice thing to do; I'll bet you and your DD had some good conversation about him over your G&T. Good on you, Girl.

This is a good way to keep his memory alive. My father is gone, but on his birthday and Father's Day, I cook some of his favorite meals.
