Date Night

On the island we hardly ever go out for dinner.  Not really sure why...ok, cost may be one factor...it's hard to get out of a decent restaurant for less than a $100 after a nice bottle of wine.  But also the summers on the island are so crazy busy with tourists crowding all the restaurants and in the winter it's just easier to make a fire and cozy up with polar fleece and smart wool socks on the many dark, cold rainy days.  But here...well, Thursday nights have become date night.  We are avoiding the weekends for obvious reasons and it's fun to look forward to getting out and not cooking.  I think it's the lifestyle here and things are cheaper in general, but also the big guy has not been out on the tractor or weeding or working on his lathe all day and so there is energy to go out...such a novelty.
