Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving. I'm grateful for my family and friends. I have a great life.

We had a special Thanksgiving day, our friends Robert and Rene invited us to celebrate Thanksgiving with them and their family and friends. I volunteered to bring a dessert so I started the day out by making Apple Fritters using Krusteaz Cinnamon Rolls mix. I don't make them often because it takes quite a bit of time, you have cut the dough into 1/2 inch square pieces and you have to cut an apple into small pieces. But it's all worth it because they come out delicious. 

Robert and Rene live about 80 miles away in South Austin. It took us about an hour and a half to get there. There were 18 people and everyone brought something. Rene prepared a turkey, ham, green bean casserole, gravy and dressing. Other people brought rolls, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and mince pie. There was also carrots and peas, sweet and dill pickles and black and green olives. There was a lot of delicious food. We had a great time and met a lot of nice people.

Google Play had a movie rental special where you could rent any of their movies today for a $1.99. We have two accounts so we could rent two movies. We rented Solo, which is a Star Wars movie and Ant Man and Wasp, which is a Super Hero movie. The rental is for 72 hours and the rental doesn't start until you start watching the movie. You have 30 days to watch the movie before it expires. We had a relaxing evening. Tonight we watched Solo, it is a prequel to Star Wars and introduces you to the early life of Hans Solo, Chewbacca and Lando. I thought it was well done and I enjoyed it. We will watch it again before our rental expires.
