My husband and I have been trying to keep our expenses to a minimum since my contract with Mopar was terminated.
His birthday was Friday and, traditionally, we go out to eat on our birthdays. With the prospect of a snow storm on Friday, I suggested Thursday that we go out for lunch. He was hesitant. Did we have money to do this…didn’t want to spend anything more than needed. I assured him that one dinner wouldn’t adversely affect us, so he suggested our favorite Italian restaurant.
We arrived after the lunch rush, so there was only one other couple and a group of 20 or so young men enjoying their lunch.
We didn’t think they were loud, but given that the restaurant was almost empty, their voices did travel. A few minutes after they left, our waitress came up to our table and said the the young men felt they were too loud, so, as an apology, the paid for our lunch. Wow! Happy Birthday…Merry Christmas. We thank them for their gift!
