Today is my wife's last day before she meets one of the infamous milestones of life with the coming of her birthday tomorrow. It's true that she will leave one decade and enter another, but regardless she is in the prime of her life. We went to dinner this evening to celebrate. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Savannah. I made reservations for 5:oopm, thinking I wanted to get in before the crowds. Well...mission success. We were the first diners for the evening. In fact, we had the full attention of the entire waitstaff for about 40 minutes before the next guests arrived.
Strike number one, we looked like out-of-towners. (Y'all don't get to the big city much, do yah?)
In the early evening they offer a $39.95 "special" that includes salad, protein entree, side dish, and dessert. We both opted for that. Plus, we decided we wanted to try a glass of wine with dinner. You know...to look sophisticated with a discriminating palate. So, we looked at the wine list (by-the-glass of course) and noticed some wines cost as much as $25--a glass! We promptly chose a grenache that we knew absolutely nothing about. But, it was the second cheapest wine on the list. We didn't choose the cheapest because, well, we didn't want to look cheap, after all.
Strike two, we looked cheap.
After a very satisfying meal, we looked at our bill (which was over the century mark), and promptly pulled out a gift card for $88. (It was a great deal! $44 gets you an $88 gift card from savannahmenu.com!) In all the meal only cost us about $58 plus tip.
Strike three...wait a minute! That's not strike three, that's a home run!
We had a great time, and I got the chance to spend some quality time with my honey to talk and reminisce about the twenty years we have been together. It was a wonderful time with my wonderful lady.
Happy Birthday, Honey! I love you and am so thankful for the many years we've had together. May God grace you with many, many more.
