Just been working, talking, watching TV and playing games. Have tried out some new recipes.
One afternoon, I answered the phone to an unknown caller. Sometimes I like to live dangerously. Ha Ha. It was a customer service rep from Verizon. And an hour later they had made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I now have a smart phone. Sharon has a phone that she can text. We have a new mifi (it's a jetpack) that you can have up to ten devices. Forgot to mention it's also 4G. OK, so we only have 2 but there's room for growth. he he
The jetpack and smart phone were free. Sharon's phone was only $19.99 after rebate. We now have unlimited talking, texting and shared 5GB for slightly less a month then we were paying. Like I said a deal we couldn't refuse.
Thanksgiving we spent with Diane & Scott. They cooked 3 turkeys: one smoked, one fried, and one fried with a chipotle glaze. Plus the usual fixings and pumpkin cheesecake pie and pecan pie. Who knew that Diane could cook.
Forgot to mention from the end of October until Thanksgiving, Diane & Scott took a mini vacation so we were busy keeping up with the campground along with Lynn & Jim.
Forgot to take pictures at Thanksgiving. So sorry.
Just last week, we went down to Branson with Becky (housekeeper) and her two twin 9 year old boys. We went to the Buttefly palace and then took a tour of Christmas lights at Shepherd of the Hills. The Christmas Light tour ended at Inspiration Tower with free passes to the top and hot chocolate or hot apple cider at the General Store.
Some pics from the tour that turned out well.

The Trail of Christmas Lights was 2 1/2 miles. It was spectacular. It did take us about an hour to drive through it.
The beginning of the tour had these lighted trees. See that small white light at the end. That's the ticket booth.
There were carolers out in front of this church but the picture didn't turn out well.
They even had the Lochness monster.
Well, I need to go back to the office so I'll try posting more pictures on facebook.
