Thanksgiving Break

With the family meal over, our Thanksgiving Day was very restful. Stace, Violet and I went for a nice hike at Golden Valley Ranch Open Space in the afternoon. 

It was a beautiful day, as you can see.

We stopped at the video store - yes, we still have a video store in Newhall! - and picked up Planes, Trains and Automobiles. We watched it that night as a family. 
 

On Friday, we did a bit of shopping in the afternoon, and managed to get both girls to come with us. At Best Buy, we (finally) bought a new printer, and got Violet a new gaming headset since hers was broken. We dropped Cora off at home and then did a little more shopping with Violet.

On Saturday, we worked in the yard and Cora and Violet went to Teacision and archery. In the evening, Stace and I went out for a drink at Chili's.

A week ago, Stace and I did a favor for Uncle Bill, and went to check out a car he was bidding on, on an online auction site. The car was in La Crescenta, about a half hour from us. Stace gave it a good lookover, and we even got to have a drive in it, with the owner behind the wheel. 

We then got coffee at a nearby shop where Stace wrote up his notes and talked to Uncle Bill.

Unfortunately, the price went far above what Bill was willing to spend, but it was a fun experience for us.

My mom sent me a healthy recipe reel on peanut butter blueberry muffins, with no flour. They came out OK, weird consistency, but a good way to use up bananas and blueberries.
