We had very special day. Every year at the end of August Larry and I go on our fall trip with the Minnie for 6 to 8 weeks. Louise's birthday is in August, so is Larry's and mine is in September. We began an annual tradition of celebrating all of our birthdays on Louise's birthday or very close to it. Today was the day we decided to celebrate our birthdays.

We spent most of the day at Louise's house. We arrived there at 9:15 am and didn't get home until 3:30. At our arrival we were greeted by Alice, Louise's dog. She came running to us to say hi. We brought lunch, which was sandwiches and chips. For the sandwiches we brought pretzel buns, meats (pepperoni, Geno salami, forest ham and bacon), cheeses (Swiss, provolone and pepper jack), mustard and miracle whip. The chips we brought a multi pack of Lay's chips (limon, barbecue, plain and all dressed) to choose from. Louise had the dessert, which was German chocolate cake and chocolate oatmeal cookies.

Lunch

Before lunch Larry did a few brother dos. He took measurements in Louise's tub/shower because she asked if he could install a shower bar. After taking the measurements he told her he could install a bar. Next he looked at the box he had built for her security camera at her front door. It was falling apart. He took it off and brought it home so he can rebuild it. Next he got her YouTube videos to work on her television in the living room and the master bedroom. He also looked at her mailbox to see if he could fix it.

After lunch we opened our gifts. We received a lot of super gifts. Thank you Shirley and Louise for the gifts. The gifts we received from Larry's mom (Shirley) were a Walmart gift card and an Amazon gift card. The gifts we received from Louise were 2 bags of Jack Links beef jerky, Health bars, Reese's miniature peanut butter cups, Mr. Goodbar miniatures, peanut butter clusters, can of Tootsie rolls, two jigsaw puzzles (one 1,000 pieces and one 500 pieces), two Amazon gift cards and two birthday cards. We gave Louise a couple of decorations (Werewolf and Leprechaun), a couple of Amazon gift cards, a couple of food cards (Texas Roadhouse and Firehouse Sub), a couple of pins and Tickle Me Elmo. She loved the Tickle Me Elmo. We had a super celebration.

When we got home I played games. I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Easy Street Mini of 5 games. It took me 10 minutes and 40 seconds to complete, which put me in 23rd place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I played eight games of pinball. I played four games on the mini cabinet, which were 60th Anniversary, Ace of Speed, Metallica and The Goonies. I played four games on the big cabinet, which were Big Bang Bar, Jaws, Star Fox and The Beach Boys. While playing The Beach Boys I became high score #2. I had a fun time playing pinball.

In evening we watched YouTube videos. We watched the next super hero movie, which Ant-Man And Wasp from our movies collection. When Larry went to bed I watched the third Fantastic Beasts movie, which was Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore. I ended up doing 3,000 steps.

I worked on the Horse of Iron jigsaw puzzle.
