A Good Saturday

We had a really nice time with Sean and Leesa last night. They are two of my favorite people and we always have a lot of lively conversation. They always have good stories and we seem to see eye to eye on most issues. The two sides she brought were delicious. Guyere scalloped potatoes and a pasta salad. I want both recipes. Ron grilled chicken and we used Mom and Dad's marinade. Yum! I made and an antipasti platter and then we had vanilla ice cream with strawberries for dessert.

I also had a really good conversation with Robby yesterday. I'm feeling much better about the lad and I think Ron is too. Right now Robby is doing really well, going to school and working hard. I need to trust my gut and focus on my life and let him focus on his.

On a financial note, I spent $261.70 at the grocery store yesterday. Eek! That was our groceries for the week plus extra stuff for dinner last night like flowers, expensive appetizer stuff, beer and wine. Still, there is only $323.85 left in the grocery fund for this month so I'm going to have to watch it! I really want to stay within budget this month just to make sure that it is possible. I don't want to have to increase it.
