I've been off work this week, so I've been enjoying doing a whole lot of nothing much. It's been a nice break. I've played a lot of the new Zelda game on the Wii. Basically, I play until my brain is tired or my hands hurt too much to go on. I've also done some mundane household chores, but not as much as I should have. The weather for the past few days has been too ugly for pictures (lots of rain, wind, clouds), so I haven't been able to get out and capture anything nice.
A few weeks ago on November 5th, I attended a brunch at my good friend's house. The food was delicious and it was nice to see her, her daughters and her family. I got a few really cute pictures that I'll post here in its own post.
On November 12th, all national parks had free admission, so I decided to go take some pictures at Antietam National Battlefield. I hadn't toured the battlefield in years and years. I'll give those pictures their own post too.
In about a week, I should have my very first Kindle. For a long time, I rejected the idea of electronic books, but trying to hold large books is getting more and more difficult, so I caved. My first electronic book is going to be George R.R. Martin's new novel. I read the first four books in the Game of Thrones series back-to-back and I've been waiting for a Kindle to continue. His books are all super long (nearly 1,000 pages each in paperback), so the Kindle should help with any issues regarding the weight/size of his work. I've started a list of other books that I want to read as well. I'm hoping that I can borrow some of them from the local library too.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, so I'll be visiting my friends Mandy & Frank for the meal. I'm bringing a pumpkin pie that I'll be making later on today. It's a tasty recipe that has honey in it. I quite enjoy a good pumpkin pie. :)
Speaking of meals, I had a Jazz Salad today. It may very well be the last one ever since the provider at the work cafeteria is being replaced. Overall, it was tasty, but I think they forgot to put the hot sauce in the dressing because it wasn't hot at all. That was a slight disappointment, but I was glad to have the salad at least one more time. I've had this salad every week (that it's been available for sale) for several years now and I'll really miss having it every Thursday. It's become a welcome tradition for me to enjoy this tasty meal every week.
Here is a picture of my friends that I'm going to visit tomorrow. This was taken in Swallow Falls State Park when we all visited there in October.
