Tonight was the tree lighting ceremony at our school. Perhaps I can write more about that and share some pictures at another time. It’s a lovely evening, much of it takes place outdoors, and it’s right during dinner time. So, when it’s all finished and the lights have come on the big tree, I am cold and hungry. Terry comes along and takes pictures of the participants for the yearbook pages so he’s cold and hungry too.
I had a coupon from the Sunday paper for 20 percent off the total bill at Marie Callenders but I didn’t want a full dinner, just a hot cup of tea and pie. Pie for dinner, yum. Plus, Marie Callenders is on the way home from school. The place was practically empty so I was glad to give it some business. The Bakers Square across the street has closed due to lack of customers. I really don’t want Marie to close up.
Terry ordered banana cream, and I got pecan. I never make pecan because Terry doesn’t like nut pies so I like to order it when it’s available in restaurants. There you have it, more pie.

I’ve decided that, all things being equal, I’m going to try and spend my money at stores and restaurants that may be struggling, in the hopes that they’ll stay open. (Although, since I’m not a big spender, I don’t think I’ll make a difference all by myself
