Thursday and another late Thanksgiving dinner with friends in the desert.

Where are we today

          Over night cloud cover so it was much warmer last night about 40f  at 5 am much nicer. And the sunrise amazing at 7 am during my first walkabout for a few minutes, again because of the cloud cover.
gotta love the desert skies
        Shortly after 8 am I whipped into town for a few supplies, and stopped by the Library. To see if Gerry found it. And sure enough he was in his glory with the free wifi and all the computer terminals there.
       Back home to get a few things done here with Suzie, then time for a nice light lunch. And while she had a short nap I headed out for another walkabout enjoying the desert scenery. Got about 3 miles on today.
so many places to explore here
      Then a couple hours relaxing with our e-readers under our awning slightly out of the intense sun, Even though it was 60 f feels much warmer and was in shorts and t-shirts for a few hours.
what's not to love about this?
         About 3 pm over to Gerry and Melinda's to set up their Weber Q 2000 to grill a 1/2 Turkey we picked up yesterday. We all love Turkey so Gerry thought it would be great that we have a Thursday Dec 1st Thanksgiving Turkey dinner with them Mashed taters, gravy, cooked carrots, cranberry sauce with orange zest (recipe click HERE). Right here in the desert and was a great idea. Ans one dessert as well.
