A few snaps from the past few days – we had a nice time with a lot of down time, so Wii Switch playing, Taylor Swift Monopoly, reading and such. Cold and foggy and clear outside, which lends to some good running days.

Nora found the idea on Pinterest and spent a few hours making up the game board. It was fun! The main rule is that the when a property is being purchased, the song that the property is named after must be played. Good times were had. 🙂

Met these fellas on my run on Thanksgiving Day. Hopefully they were not too nervous . . .

A lot of chopping is required to make Emerald City Salad, but it is a favorite of ours on Thanksgiving (recipe at the link). It’s a good one that lasts for days . . . .

Nora made the pie. Apple. Yum.

Nintendo Switch (I called it a Wii Switch above – see, what do I know about these systems? Clearly not a lot!). This was started several years ago when I checked out a game system from the University of Oregon’s Science Library for the holiday weekend. Their pickings are slim these days, so a workmate of mine loaned it to us. We all enjoyed Mario Kart several times over . . . .
