November 28th-30th - Thanksgiving and Repairs

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Mountain View. It is great to get the whole family together.

Kelly’s family has a tradition of giving a “Jack Horner “ gift before dinner. Here is a picture of everyone opening their gifts.

Here is a picture of my gift.

Here is a picture of all of us after dinner.

Friday morning Adam and I decided to tackle a couple of kitchen projects. The first was installing new LED lights in the kitchen. There were three two-foot fluorescents, one of which didn’t work at all. Here is a picture of the new lights. A major improvement. Adam will have to do a little patching on the ceiling.

The next project was replacing the thirty year old faucet. Of course being that old the mounting bracket below was rusted beyond recognition. There was no way it was going to come loose as intended. I ended up carefully prying on it from below and bending it until it finally came out above through the hole. The installation of the new faucet was then a piece of cake with no leaks. Here is a picture of the finished installation.

Today we wrap Christmas presents we brought out with us then we fly home. It will be a long day because we don’t land in St. Louis until midnight. We won’t get back to Perryville until about 3:00 a.m. on Sunday.
