Thanksgiving Day

Jayne and I cleaned up the house as it was dusty with the workers here. Then Jayne started making the dishes for today.

Richard came over at noon. He brought a ham, mashed potatoes, and banana bread. I didn’t eat the ham but I had the other food, which was very good. He’s a good cook.

Jayne cooked broccoli and made three salads. I had also bought desert, but since we had what Richard brought we didn’t eat the carrot and orange cake.

A couple of hours later we went to the mall to see the latest James Bond film starring Daniel Craig.

We were told that there is a special to see this film. For only $1 more we got the VIP Lounge. It was very nice. The lobby of this lounge looks like a theater from the mid 18th Century. On our balcony there were 10 lazy-boy chairs. The waiter comes and asks what you want to eat/drink and brings it to you. This is served on a table next to your seat. (Each pair of arm-chairs is separated.) Richard said on weekends the cost for the VIP Lounge is twice the entrance price. What we paid today was only $6.

After the film we went to a store that sells Christmas decorations. Richard was looking for lights that are the size of a grain of rice. I found it and it was exactly what he wanted.

Then went to a great coffee shop right across from the store. I treated everyone to cappuccino with cream.

Richard dropped us home around 7pm.

I called my Mother about 11am and had nice talk with her, though we didn’t speak long.

When we got back from the mall I called at Carol’s house. This was after they ate. I talked to Sharon and so did Jayne. Carol was busying washing the dishes and Alan was in the bathroom. There were only four people there. The fourth person was Steve’s girlfriend. He couldn’t make it as he is in Afghanistan on a “mission.”

Sharon told me that our sister, Heather, is expecting another baby in June or July. This will be her fourth. They have two boys now.

Jayne and I went to bed early.

So ends a nice Thanksgiving Day.
