Sawtooth Grill



Marjie and I did a little back to school shopping at River Park Square last night. We decided to stay downtown and eat dinner at the Sawtooth Grill. I like the Sawtooth O.K., but it’s nothing special in my opinion.

Marjie had the Backyard Burger and I choose the Aloha Burger. I think their burgers are over priced at around $ 9 each, and the fries don’t come close to the big thick ones at the Onion.
The service was good,and the burgers were cooked medium as requested.
I had a glass of Merlot, which set me back $9.25;I should have asked the price before ordering.

I think if you want a good burger downtown in a nice sit-down restaurant, hoof it over to the Onion. Your palate and pocketbook will thank you.

Morning Glory



This has to be one of my favorite flowers. The flower lasts for a single morning and dies in the afternoon. New flowers bloom each day. This one was blooming on my deck. I love the intense blue color.

My morning glory on some Saturdays is hitting the garage sales. I get up early ,scan the paper, and map out my route. The fun part for me is not knowing what treasures I will find.

This Saturday I found a brand new ricer cooker (a really nice one), a martini set, night light, a set of lake lounging chairs, and of course a few paperbacks.

It’s fun shopping on the cheap with the added thrill of the hunt.
