Thursday 5-14-26 Paper Crafting, Housework and Games

 

Have a great day

We had a great day. The sun was shining and windy. The morning temperature was 64 degrees. The official high was 88 degrees but at our house it got up to 92 degrees.

Larry spent the day working on his paper crafting project of making a graduation card for Keileigh, who is graduating from Lake Belton High School. It took him a bit because he wanted it to be very special. He downloaded the project. Next he had to modify the file for the size he wanted to make. Next he decided on what color paper he wanted to use and what type of paper (glitter or cardstock). He used both. Then he cut out and assembled the pieces. He also wrote a salutation and printed it out. He found a special picture for the inside and used AI to change the color on the picture (graduation gown, hair color and the length). It came out perfect. He had a great time making the card and it came out fantastic.

While Larry worked on the card I did my housework. I cleaned the bathrooms, dusted the house and vacuumed.

I spent most of the day playing games. I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Two Game Tango Mini of 6 games (3 Pyramid and 3 Tri Peaks). It took me 12 minutes and 12 seconds, which put me in 12th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I played ten games of pinball. 

I played five games on the mini cabinet, which were Big Buck Hunter Pro, Great Houdini, No Fear, No Good Goffers! and The Goonies. While playing Great Houdini I became high score #2 and The Goonies I became high score #4.

I played five games on the big cabinet, which were Dracula, Indianapolis 500, Nightmare Before Christmas, Superman and the Justice League and Tales From the Crypt. I didn't get on the board on any of the games but I had a great time playing pinball. I didn't get a new high score on the weekly challenge of Tales From the Crypt but I'm still doing well. I'm 26th out of 83 participants.

In the evening we continued watching the 16th season of Call the Midwife. When Larry went to bed I watched Angels & Demons and R.I.P.D. from our movies collection. I ended up doing 5,500 steps. 

While watching television I worked on my jigsaw puzzle art by Nancy Wernersbach.
