Happy Thanksgiving 

We had a super Thanksgiving. We had a chilly day, the morning temperature was 48 degrees and the high was 54 degrees. There was a breeze out of the north.

I got up at 7:30 and started to get ready for Thanksgiving lunch. I put a relish tray together with pepper jack cheese, salami, sweet pickles and stuffed olives and made deviled eggs. Louise and Alice (her dog) arrived at 9:00. Louise brought pecan pie for dessert, she bought brownies and oatmeal chocolate cookies to snack on.

While waiting we visited and Louise played pinball. Louise played Willy Wonka and entered her initials on the board. She had a great time playing pinball. Alice kept me company in the kitchen while I prepared the other food. I heated a ham up in the oven, made mashed potatoes and gravy, cooked up the egg noodles, made Stove Top stuffing and dinner rolls. We had a delicious lunch. We had way too much food and we sent some of the food home with Louise.

After lunch we visited a little while. I did dishes while visiting. We all had a piece of pie before Saying good-bye. We kept a couple of pieces of pie for our evening dessert. Louise and Alice left around 1:00. We had a nice visit.

After Louise and Alice left I took a couple hour nap. Larry finished sanding his mini cabinet and glued a couple pieces together. 

I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Pyramid Adventure of 20 games. It took me 1 hour, 5 minutes and 58 seconds, which put me in 9th place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I worked on my diamond painting of the Tiger. I should be finish tomorrow.

I played four games of pinball. They were Jurassic Park, X-Men, Superman and the Justice League and Mission Impossible. While playing Jurassic Park I didn't get a new high score but I did get a new #4 high score. When I played X-Men I entered my initials as high score #4.

In the evening we watched the last episode of the first season of Inspector Ellis on Acorn. After Larry went to bed I watched The Bourne Ultimatum and Men In Black out of our movies collection. I ended up doing 17,000 steps, which put me in 1st place in my group.
