We had another cold day with the temperature in the low 50s.
We started the day off by going to Round Rock to visit Louise and Alice. We like to stop by every so often to visit and to fix any miscellaneous repairs she might have. We hadn't seen her in over three months. Larry e-mailed her last night and told her we would stop by and to make a list of things she needed done.
On the way we stopped by Top Donuts and bought breakfast. Then we stopped at The Home Depot in Georgetown to buy some stain for the pinball cabinet. We used the same stain on the Cameo cabinet and it was no longer available in Temple. Georgetown has it and it's on the way to Round Rock. While there we picked up a few screws we needed.
We arrived at Louise's around 9:30 and were greeted by her dog Alice. Louise has her Christmas tree and decorations up. They look great. She had a few minor things for Larry to do. First was to hang a couple of things in her spare bedroom that she found in the garage when she was getting her Christmas decorations. He also put the closet door back on the track. Then he cut down a box that had extra ceiling tiles are being stored in and replaced a part in her printer. While Larry was doing the little projects I played with Alice and worked on her jigsaw puzzle. For lunch we had pizza and onion rings that Louise had in the freezer. Louise baked peanut butter cookies for dessert. We had a great visit.
We got back to the house a little after 2:00. We worked on the pinball project. We put on the back panel of the machine on it's frame.

Afterwards I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. Today's event was Event: Free Cell Mini of 5 games. It took me 9 minutes and 15 seconds, which put me in 6th place in my group. I played some Angry Birds games.
In the evening I attended Loren Smith's Weekly A2/C1 dance at 7:30 for an hour and a half. Loren called three tips of A2, two tips of C1 Teach and two tips of C1 with 12 participants. During the teach tips Loren worked on Vertical Tag and Tag Back to a Wave. There was only one couple to pin and they left halfway through the dance so I didn't pin anyone after that. I had a great time dancing to Loren and with friends.
After the dance we watched another episode of The English. When Larry went to bed I started watching the 7th season of Shetland on Acorn. I ended up doing 28,000 steps, which put me in 2nd place in my group for the week with 192,155 steps.
