Thanksgiving dinner (lunch) with Bill's parents followed by a nice walk around town.
Linda carved the turkey, Bill made the cheesy broccoli casserole (white dish), and I tried making gravy again (green dish).
We drove down to New Holstein on Friday and made our regular visits to the bike shops on the way down:

Escanaba - Mr. Bike and Fitness Shop

Marinette - Marinette Cycle Center

DePere - The Bike Hub

Appleton - Appleton Bicycle Shop and Wheel and Sprocket

We helped out on lots of projects--crossing many things off the list:

• Putting the numbers on the house
• Nailing the green trim to the back screen porch
• Eating pizza and drinking beer (they have Fat Tire and Bill's fav: Mothership Whit at the NH Piggly Wiggly.
• Putting up drywall in the basement
• Putting up the boards for the shelves
• Pulling wire for the screen porch electrical
• Taking the railing to Andy's for varnish
• Setting up the new cell phones
• Eating cornbread stuffing, white chili, and leftover Thanksgiving dinner
• Starting to put up the tounge and groove ceiling in the screen porch

I need to get the homemade pickles out of the car -- we left them out there last night...

World Cup Speedskating - Marquette

Thursday after lunch I walked over to the Berry Event Center to watch speedskating. I watched several heats of women and then the men raced the 1500. These are my photos from the afternoon. Here is a link to some exciting speedskating video: http://www.shorttrackhd.com/

and I think transition lenses are dorky...

November 9. It is 62 degrees and I wore sunglasses back to work from lunch.

I tried just wearing the sunglasses but I couldn't see at all. The last option worked the best--regular glasses over the sunglasses. I had to hold my head straight up so they wouldn't fall off.

We walked to work today. After getting up early (because of the time change) we had a slow morning of breakfast and coffee and watched Vicky Crystal on the morning news. It was only 7:18 and we were ready for work. So we walked.
