Good things keep coming! Social Security payments increase 1.7% starting in January. Hey, $20 per month is nothing to sneeze at!
When your Mom and I were in Minneapolis, breakfast was “light” each day. On Saturday, when we visited Ikea (the $100 store), we stopped at their restaurant before our marathon walk through the products. The restaurant is designed to bring people in before shopping. There were 3 of us and we each had the buffet. Scrambled eggs, sausage links, potatoes and small slices of French bread were the “special”. Coffee and water were free. The total bill came to $7.97 for all three breakfasts. No tip required.
On Sunday morning before leaving for home, we had the breakfast buffet at our hotel restaurant. Same thing! Scambled eggs, sausage (or bacon), potatoes and toast. There were fruit offerings as part of their buffet. Coffee and Tea was extra. The total bill came to $59. The tip was extra. The $51 over Ikea’s bill was a lot to pay for “atmosphere. Hey the “company” was priceless.
I got my hearing aids cleaned and adjusted this morning. It was free! It ought to be free after paying the intial price of purchase. Now I’m gauranteed not to have to say”Huh” again.
Grandson Mitchell takes the football field in Middleton this evening. 7:00 PM. We are not going but mentally I’ll be there. It is fun to imagine the excitement of winning and moving on in the tournament. Maybe, just maybe, Middleton will grab the brass ring. Go Cardinals.
The weekend is lining up to be gorgeous.
Love,
Dad
