Excellent weather

La Feria, TX 68 degrees - 63 to be low tonight.  Haven't had windows of the house closed for several days.  Excellent weather!

 Last evening we, and Bill & Twila, went over to our neighbor's Bob & Bobbi for some Pegs & Jokers.  Bobbi will probably kill me for this picture, but we had her down on her hands and knees looking for some refreshments.



Played three games and then visited over some brownies, ice cream and coffee.  Enjoyable evening.












Today, after working a little more on the bathroom (and Phyllis actually moved stuff back from the other bathroom even though I don't have it quite finished.  Do have the new sink, stand, part of old counter top and some of the new shelving done.  A little finishing on the shelving in the morning and that part will be done -- then just finish the wall around the third side of the new shower, get the faucet and head installed and wall replaced on back side of the shower) we went to Lowe's for a few things.  Decided to get a compound miter saw, but discovered they are going to be $40 cheaper on Black Friday, so passed and went on to Wally World for some items and groceries. 
 Afterwards we went again to a Chinese all you can eat buffet for lunch.  Only $5.99 for adults in the middle of the day...  Enjoyed, and didn't over-eat, which is the problem usually with these.

At right are a couple photos of some things that we didn't eat.













 After we returned home, the adequately full stomachs suggested a little "sit down time" and we both caught naps in recliners in front of the TV.


Afterwards I returned to puttering with the shelves under the bathroom counter.  Between the small table saw, and the router base (without a router) I have a little work area by the deck and in front of the storage shed.  In the open, but with nice weather it isn't too bad.  This Friday rain is predicted from late afternoon until Saturday sometime.  That will

 definitely put a "damper" on the outdoor shop.  When the bathroom is finished and I get the new front door in I hope to use some of the recycled roofing I bought from Dave Engle last year to at least extend the deck cover to over part of the shed.  Maybe even go as far north to cover both the kitchen window and one bedroom window.  With them being on the west side it will help a bunch with late afternoon heat from the sun as well as give a space to still work under a roof.  Will see.
Phyllis is working on her latest quilt and I am working from the recliner in front of the TV with my laptop.  Rough life?

Phyllis did get all the things she needed for fixing the dishes she will take to the Rec Hall Thursday for the Thanksgiving dinner.  We have signed up to help serve the meal

Till next time, Lynn
