Monday 6-23-25 Dancing with Di, Fire TV & Games

 

We had another manic Monday. 

Larry had an exciting morning. He watched the deer come though the backyard. He said there were two sets of twin fawns, a single fawn, their mothers and a couple extra does. He said it looked like a deer playground. 

Later on we saw a doe and fawn walk though the backyard through the neighbor's gate to the trees. We watched the hummingbird drink from the homemade feeder. We actually caught the squirrel taking off the lid of the feeder to drink the nectar. For awhile we weren't sure what animal was taking the lid off. We have been putting the lid on a few times a day. We saw the hawk while watching television. Almost every night we seen the fox walking on the driveway and through the backyard. 

When the wildlife doesn't show up for a couple of days we are very disappointed. The wildlife makes our day and put a smile on our faces.

We started the day off by attending Di Green's Weekly C1 dance at 9:00 for an hour. Di called five tips and danced with Terry to 12 participants. Michael from Washington D.C. was back from attending his grandmother's funeral in Italy. It was nice to have him back. Larry danced with me for four of the tips. We had a super time dancing with friends and joking with them in between the tips.

Larry spent the day working on trying to get the television to work the way he wants. He couldn't get it to turn on or off using voice commands. He finally called Amazon to get their help. He found out, that even though the television is an Alexa Fire TV it wasn't compatible with the on/off command. On our old TV he was able to make this work using a Harmony hub, however this will not work via the new TV. He worked on this almost the entire day. 

I didn't do too much. I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Easy Street Mini of 15 games. It took me 29 minutes and 19 seconds, which put me in 10th place in my group. I played Angry Birds.

After lunch I took a couple of hours nap.

I made barbecue beef cups. I substituted the beef with pork sausage. I hadn't made this dish in a very long time. It's an easy dish. You need biscuits, barbecue sauce and pork or beef. I didn't have the dry onion so I didn't use this ingredient. I didn't use as much barbecue sauce as was called for because I thought the pork had enough spices in it. This dish came out delicious.

After dinner I played three pinball games on the mini pinball cabinet because the bigger one is still down. I played James Bond 60th Anniversary, Deadpool and Playboy. While playing Deadpool I became high score #1. I enjoy playing on the big cabinet but the mini one is just as enjoyable and I can sit down playing the games.

In the evening we watched Sherlock Holmes 2- Game of Shadows. When Larry went to bed I watched The Matrix Revolutions and Jesse Stone: Night Passage. I ended up doing 13,500 steps.
