I got up an hour earlier than yesterday-at 7:30. I certainly am getting more rest. My breakfast is my usual granola. After breakfast I am thinking I would like to go for a walk. Both Sherri and Rachel would like to go, but after they have had their breakfast. Then Sherri wants to finish making my pumpkin roll-see the picture for November 25th. By this time, we need to go over to pick up the keys from Don for Lawrence and Andrea’s lodging while they are here.
By the time we get everything situated, it is about 11. Steven is also joining us on our walk. David has suggested going over to the McKay Tract-where we have walked before. We take off walking towards Walnut Dr, then south on Walnut, until the sidewalk gives way at Pleasant Dr where we wander around that neighborhood for a few minutes before coming back out on Campton and then back to David’s place. This took about 40 minutes with us walking about a mile and three-quarters. David is surprised by our route-he thought we were driving. I guess McKay will wait for another day.
Close to 2, Andrea and Lawrence come in. A little after 2 our Thanksgiving Day dinner is served. David has deboned the turkey and smoked half of the turkey and fried the other half. Both are good. Of course there is more than that for us: green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, bread and more. Everybody is satisfied. I wash dishes with Rachel and David helping out. The rest of them go for another walk.
Then it is game time with solitaire and jigsaw puzzles. We do a short break for dessert of apple pie, pumpkin roll, and ice cream. Then onward to playing more games. Andrea has us trying to draw a face without lifting a pen and not looking at the person’s face. I think mine could be a passable paper-mache Picasso than a lifelike rendition. Then we place a Star Wars Escape Room game. By the time we finish the So Clover game it is after 9. It is time for Lawrence and Andrea to escape to their abode for tonight. I get to bed about 9:45.
