| Deer Sighting |
It's another quiet morning here in KC, the sky briefly pink, as a deer happened to walk by our backyard. It's 7:25 and only Bella and I are up. It looks like it will cloud up and then rain this evening with the highs around 50ยบ.
Yesterday was Black Friday but as far as I know, none of us bought anything. Yea. The morning went quickly as I was up early; by 10:00, Tom and Mary were having a breakfast of apple pie with me before driving off to work out. Evie was up around 9:00, but Marlena slept in. I decided to get some exercise so I went for a forty-five-minute walk around the development and almost got lost as the roads wound back and forth and the houses seemed much the same. It felt good to be out and I walked a mile and a half.

Once Tom and Mary returned, we watched some games, then the World Cup, and picked at the Thanksgiving dinner for lunch, warming up the turkey, stuffing, green beans, and mashed potatoes. Yum. At half time of the US/England futbol game, we left for a gathering at Tommy's oldest friend in Kansas City. He lives a half hour away and has an interesting house sitting on Lake Lotawana. It used to be the Mafia mob bosses' home in the 1930s and when Mike bought it, it needed lots of work. Now, it's spectacular, all stone, sitting on 150 feet of lakefront.

For some reason, it reminds me of something out of the Godfather films. We went on a tour of the house and separate garage with an apartment above and it was made up of small rooms but tastefully done. Tommy, Mike, and I spent much of the time talking about the history of the house, and basketball because all three of us played it in high school. While we grabbed. the girls played Bananagrams and Scrabble. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours in the afternoon.

| A Fun Afternoon |
We were back by dinnertime and had enough turkey for the day so we decided on another dinner of spaghetti and meatballs at Evie's request and it was even better than Wednesday night. Tom was excited because Kansas was playing Tennesee in the championship game of a tournament but they played poorly and lost to an inferior team. That was enough sports for the night so we ended up watching a series on Netflix called Dead To Me, which we liked and thought Tom and Mary might as well. Like the past two nights, we were all tired by 9:45 and ready for bed. Marlena, however, was out to dinner with friends and spent the night with them.
