October with Sara

So the Dinner with Dad schedule finally was overrun by our hectic schedule and September really did not come together.  So we have just jumped into October and we will have to make up the missed month later.

It was great to get back to the Dinner with Dad schedule.  Even though it gets hectic some times, it is always a GREAT evening when it is a Dinner with Dad evening!

Sara and I finally made it to the new Texas Roadhouse in town.  Every time that we tried this place in the past it was a very long wait.  Well I think the newness has finally wore off and we got in with no wait at all.

Dinner was very good and there was certainly service with a smile.  Sara went with the ribeye steak and I went with BBQ Chcken and Ribs combo.  Both loved our meals and the server dude was definitely a character.

Since we hadn't been out in a while, we had lots to talk about and time flew by.  Sara is now very busy with her new job and is looking at other job opportunities.  She had quite the flat tire episode last week on the way to work, but all worked out and she got to work and home safely.

Time with Sara = Priceless

August with Henry

Another dinner that happened a while ago and honestly the details are a bit scetchy - perhaps it was the martini's.

Henry and I had a very nice dinner at home.  Ribeye steaks were on sale so we had good ole steak on the grill night.  Of course we had to do it right add a nice salad with all the fixin's before dinner.

Granddaughter Rose happened to be over that night so I guess this is the first episode of Dinner with Grandpa - hmmm, this could be the start of something.

We all had a very nice night taking time to cook the dinner, fun conversation with dinner and then of course the most fun of all doing the dishes. 

We did follow it up with a heated game of Mario Cart on the Wii.  I honestly cannot remember who won - which may be a good thing.  Mario Cart and NASCAR are the only games that I can compete with Henry on - all the others are no contest - in his favor.

Time with Henry (and Rose) = Priceless

August with Brittany

I have gotten waaaaaay behind on my Dinner with Dad blogging.  So today will be some catch up and then we will be back on track - I hope.

Brit and I went to Georgie Porgie's  restaurant.  I had the gyro dinner - very good and Brit had the chicken pita - I think (I am telling you it has been a while - how many of you remember what you had for dinner last night even?).

I can't tell you any details about the conversation, but one thing that I do know is that after our often rushed dinners, we finally had a nice long conversation and dinner.  We had lots of laughs, hit on some serious subjects and talked about the current events of our life.  It was very nice that neither of us were in a hurry and the time just flew by.

Dinner = $??? (I have given up trying to keep the receipts), Time with Brittany = Priceless!
