We went to a small park near the house. The kids rode their bikes – Dean and James rode a
bicycle built for two! Eden rode her bike and I drove myself in the car. James picked wildflowers and arranged them in leaves for his Mother and both Grandmothers. I loved mine and put it in a frame to hang in the living room when I got home. We did have to be 
careful of the bugs however as quite a few seem to make their home in wildflowers. Eden had fun in the park playing on the playsets. 
Thanksgiving was wonderful as always. James cooked the turkey in the Big Green Egg this year and he did a fantastic job! Emet’s pancit was wonderful – way too much work but so good! And I made fresh bread daily and my famous salad. We were fat and happy when we finished gorging ourselves!
Ede and the kids have taken up Karate. I went to watch two practices and I was very impressed with their prowess! I hope they go on to achieve black belts! It is certainly good exercise and fun too.
