Three Strikes and You're Out (of money!)

Posted in Out and About

We are a very frugal family.  But we enjoy eating out once in a while :).  Well, the past 3 days are the exception.  On Thursday (Valentine's Day), we went to have dinner at an Indian restaurant called, "Indian Palace" (we love their lamb dishes).  Yesterday, we went to have dim sum at a Chinese restaurant (we love dim sum).  Today we enjoyed seafood at Dooger's (we love seafood, especially fresh crab!).  Now...we're broke but our taste buds are happy :).

 

Today was a long, fun day.  First, we drove to Seaside.  My husband and the boys enjoyed the carousel.  We played in the Arcade.  My husband got 4 different stuffed animals (one for me and three for the kids) from a machine with a metal claw (that eats coins!)  We then drove to Cannon Beach.  After our lunch at Dooger's, we went to Ecola State Park.  We took in the fresh, ocean air and the beautiful scenery.  We hiked around the area.  Next, we walked along the beach enjoying the gorgeous sunset.  Can anyone look at the sun set over the horizon on the ocean and not be filled with praise in his heart for God the Creator?  "Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom."  Isaiah 40:28

Sounds fun to me. :-) God is so loving to give us so many things to enjoy while we are on this earth and serving Him. I also enjoyed your sunset picture.

About Me

This is a place for me to relax a bit, recount my blessings, reflect on God's Word, record my thoughts, reassure others of God's love, receive others' insights, recall precious memories, relate what the Lord has done in my life & my family, rejoice at God's goodness & faithfulness, relish writing, recycle my poems, and refresh myself.
