December 21, 2012. Ridgeland, Mississippi. The Coupon.

It started innocently enough.  Ken was reviewing the mail and set aside a coupon, worth $25. off the bill for a lunch.   The restaurant was new, at least new to the Jackson area, and had just opened at The Renaissance, an upscale walking outdoor mall in Madison County.  We decided to use that $25. coupon.

We invited Christina and the girls, along with Andrew, to join us for lunch at Ruth's Chris Steak House, today, December 21st at noon.   They were all delighted with the invitation.   It was chilly outside, so the girls and Christina arrived looking very fashionable in black jackets and coats, with Molly in a bright red coat complete with hood.   They looked as elegant as the restaurant.

I love saving money so we saved money by spending money.  Actually, the coupon paid for the tip.  But we were all happy.  The food was wonderful.  We saved money.  And we all enjoyed our lunch during the Christmas season of 2012.   It is all in our memory bank now.
