Cheap Dinner

On Saturday Meg and I had the best dinner deal in town. Our local supermarket, Price Chopper, has fried seafood meals available for takeout. We got two fried clam dinners at $4.99 each. I got mine with onion rings and she got the fries. We both got cole slaw. We can't say it was healthy, but it was tasty. One tip: be sure to have some kid prepare your meal instead of the manager. Some kid is more likely to give you large portions; the manager is much more likely to give you the correct, smaller portion. This works for ice cream cones, too!

Sunday went fairly well for us. My sister and nephew came over for a visit. Henry was very well behaved.

In the evening he got a bit fussy, but looking back on it now, it doesn't matter. That's what being a parent is all about. The time we had at the diner together, the nice walk we took on Saturday evening, and the smiles he gave us are what I remember now on Monday morning.
