Three of our five kids and their “friends”/family joined us for Thanksgiving leftovers.  I think we’ll do this again next year.  Thanksgiving Day is just too hectic with everyone needing to be so many different places.  We had so much more time to enjoy the kids today.

I’ve not been able to find a suitable replacement for my favorite Melaleuca Sol-U-Guard disinfectant.  I met up with the local Melaleuca representative and reactivated my membership.  Steve procured the perfect Christmas tree!

What he said.  I am overwhelmed and without words to express all that I’m thankful for.

Turns out my P.T. appointment is next Wednesday, not today.  The mirrors were hung in the Pilates room this morning.

TechnoGym Wave:  62 minutes, 9.0 miles.  Happy 9th Birthday, Hanna!

Early Mass.  West on the LuceLine:  87 minutes, 4.40 miles, 19:56/3.0, HR=85.  We celebrated Steve’s Mom’s birthday at his sister’s home.  Finishing touches on yesterday’s reorganization projects.

We spent most of the day reorganizing things around the house.  The Pilates reformer has been moved to a room downstairs next to the weight room.  The old pilates area of the upstairs exercise room is now a meditation/yoga space.  Steve’s got the outdoor Christmas decorations up.  Tony stopped by to pick up my Tractor and take it in for service then joined us for lunch at the St. George Women’s Boutique.  The TV cabinet my grandfather, Herb built is now in use in my bedroom.  I remember evenings in front of that cabinet watching Lawrence Welk with my grandparents.

Avery and I made pie crust from scratch for the very first time.  She even rolled out her own!  Steve had cooked our pumpkins earlier this week, so we didn’t have to do that part.  We made three regular size and two miniature pumpkin pies, a miniature blueberry and a miniature cherry.  We attended Nicole’s dance recital, which Avery enjoyed immensely.

OLLI group; “Women in Transition”.

An easy 3.75 miles on the Woodway treadmill this morning.  Steve and I took a yoga class at the Marsh this evening.  I’ve installed and am using Microsoft Office 2010 Beta.  .  The first thing I notice is that it didn’t take the usual two tries to get my Journal document open.  Yay!
