Remember when...

...the bargain matinee was half price? We just went to see Harry Potter, and it was $6.00! It's obviously been a while since I've been to the movies. I think I paid $4.50 last time. Fortunately, we did go during the day; evening price is $9.00 now. And I know we're not as expensive as the bay area.

Thanksgiving dinner at Valerie's yesterday was very nice. We had a lovely dinner -- Elizabeth brined a turkey. It was very moist and had excellent flavor. Jeremiah's sisters were there, along with Duane's friend, Dean, and Alexa's husband, Dave. They'd pulled out a lot of family photos and there were a lot of "remember whens" about Duane. I think it was good for everyone, but I felt a little intrusive from time to time.

The turkeys, raccoon, and possum that visited the backyard were very cool. Wish I'd brought my camera!

Actually, Dean is an old friend of Duane's from when they lived in SoCal and in Hawaii. They are a lot alike though! We all thought it was nice to have him there.

I was so glad you could be there Mom, I really needed to see some of my family!
