We started the day out going to Round Rock to visit Louise and Alice.
Last year we bought a couple of Amazon Alexa's and we love them. Larry has added many Alexa enabled light switches so that Alexa can turn the lights and ceiling fans on and off. Amazon is constantly updating Alexa with new commands. Alexa turns the TV on and off, changes the channels and turns the volume up and down. Larry has been wanting three-way switches, they came out a few months ago and he has waited to see how they work. The three-way switches are expensive but they come with two switches so it wasn't that bad. The instructions said you need both switches in order for them to work with the Alexa, however some reviewers said you really only needed one which allowed you to use the second switch somewhere else. He ordered a set of switches and they came in the other day. He installed one switch and discovered our three way switch worked fine. We don't really need the other switch and Louise has been wanting one for her living room.
This morning we went to Round Rock to install the three-way switch and another switch. Years ago Larry had installed a light in Louise's garage to give her light when she was in the garage. When she forgets to turn off the light it messes up her television signal and she has get up to turn it off. He installed one switch for the garage light and the three-way switch for her ceiling fan light fixture and programmed Alexa to turn the lights on and off. Louise is a happy woman. She treated us to lunch. We didn't have to go anywhere because she had bought a pepperoni pizza and 5-cheese bread from Papa Murphy's. This was the first time we tried the bread and it was delicious. Of course I played with her dog Alice. We had a very nice visit.

In the evening we watched the second Star Trek: Into Darkness. I worked on my puzzle. We had a super day.
