If you go out to eat a lot, then dinner out does not seem so special. However, if it is once in a while or not more than once a week or for some celebration then it can be special. It is a time to enjoy being together where everyone at the table is there to just spend time together, dine together, and spend time talking. There is no worry about who has to do what before or after the meal, it's just eating and enjoying. You can't do this all the time and the things about making a meal at home important are no less important. But, there's a lot to be said for a dinner out. Laugh, eat, enjoy, sit together. It can be like going on a very short vacation. Oh, yes, and dinner out while on vacation or some road trip (like driving to Miami and back in the same day to get a passport), can be even better, because then it is also a bit of necessity.
So, maybe there's no place like home but sometimes a dinner out is nice (not to mention how grateful I am that we have the means to be able to afford a dinner out).
So, today I'm grateful for dinner out.
