November
We ran to the polls and voted this month. And voted for Jerry Brown for governor. Last time he was in office (which was before the term limit law passed, so he could run again), he turned the CA deficit into a surplus for the first time in years. He has a very practical way of handling money. If you don't have it, don't spend it. We're looking for a much happier, affluent California now that he's back in office.
I had a field vision test. That's where you look into this white box, and click a button whenever a tiny light beams at your peripheral vision. My blank area is still blank, but hasn't grown in size, so that's a good thing.
Thanksgiving was quiet, but yummy. Toria had only a one-day visit in the States during her European job trip, and it was Brian's family's turn to host Thanksgiving. We couldn't make the drive there, so had a small quiet Thanksgiving here with Natalie.
Nat and I made turkey (just breast and thighs), green bean casserole (first time I made it taste right - I'm so lame), gingered carrots, smashed potatos, gravy, stuffing, Graber olives, and various pickles. The best part of TK is sharing the preparations for the meal. The food is good, too... Hal even ate a full meal!
I had made pecan and apple pie for dessert, and Nat brought ... what were they called? Kinda like not-blonde brownies. Very tasty. We were so stuffed, a couple of her brownies was all I could manage. Sent Nat home with extras and a pie.
Missed the rest of you guys. We get to host next year!
