I spent a lot of time this week trying to find a restaurant that had Thanksgiving meals. Most of the reasonably priced ones were booked. I just couldn't justify the big Thanksgiving brunches that cost $100. We just don't eat that much anymore. Then a delightful surprise when Debbie called to accept our invitation to spend Thanksgiving with us. We agreed that eating out was a good option so the search continued. I found a couple of great places on the water but they only had 7:00 PM reservations which is too late to eat a big meal. Finally success as Ruth Chris has a Thanksgiving three course meal for a reasonable price or you can order from the regular menu. So we have a 2:00 reservation for dinner!
Trips to the house every day to get mail and check on the progress has been fun this week. Lots of activity. cabinets, painting, trim and yesterday countertops. We will go today to take pictures and will post on the Reno page. Nothing much else going on this week. Both cars were due for service, Mine at 15,000 miles and Richard's at 30,000. The dealership is about 30 minutes away so I took the cars in on Tuesday and Wednesday and waited for the service. They offered a loaner but by the time I drove back and forth, the wait was not much longer. Took my kindle and had a peaceful morning reading! It has been a little cool in the morning so I have not been at the beach too many days. When I don't go to the beach, I usually try to get to 8:00 mass. Nice way to start the day. I am in search of stool for the kitchen counter. We put the overhand on the end of the island so we don't have a ton of room. Found a nice wooden small stool but I am second guessing if I want a cushion top or if the wood one will be fine. I think I am having decision fatigue as i can't seem to make a decision very fast. FOMAM- Fear of making a mistake! LOL I also need a cabinet to put our TV on. We are going to look at it and hopefully buy it today! One more week at this place and then on to our last rental. If all goes well the reno will be done by the 14th of December. Not sure when the furniture will arrive but that is a worry for another day.
