Larry spent the day reading. He has been reading Crossing to Safety, by Wallace Stegner on and off for a few days. Today he decided to try and finish it. He liked the book and said the author was terrifically talented. The author wrote many books when he was alive. 

Relax with a good book

A few days ago I decided to reassemble the Horse Of Iron jigsaw puzzle. I assembled the puzzle back in October of 2018. It's a 1,000 pieces puzzle in the shape of a train engine. It's going to take awhile because of the shape but it 's going to be fun.

We watched YouTube videos.

In the evening we watched Avatar from our movie collection. The are three movies, the first was done in 2009, the second in 2022 and the third in 2025. We had the first two and this week Larry purchased the third. We want to watch them in order so tonight we started with the first one, it is a very good movie and the graphics are still terrific. The first Avatar movie is the highest grossing movie of all time, it took in almost 3 billion dollars.

When Larry went to bed I watched You Got Mail and Men In Black 3 from our movies collection. I ended up doing 4,000 steps.
