A simple meal

To honor our new pope, we chose the Spanish Rice, no beans, to side with our entrees today at our all-time favorite Mexican Restaurant in Shakopee. Kathleen braced the afternoon repast with a perky Pina Colada, Stan ordered the honey-glazed fried ice cream as a healing antidote to his spicy combination plate.
Earlier, we had dropped Danny off at Mystic Lake casino so he could jump on the "Losers Bus" for a free ride back to Minneapolis after his Shakopee foot doctor appointment. Then we prudently paused at the Little Six casino to cash in a $5 come-on-in coupon that had been mailed to us. The cash, together with a $4 Pablo's coupon, put a big dent in today's tab, and our Cub Rewards Card reduced our Holiday gas fill by 25 cents a gallon.
From what we have been given to understand, we believe the pope would approve of these simple, frugal ways. Are we just being cheap? Not at all. We're being saintly.
