Saturday, Geoff decided to change his brakes on his car. He went and picked up all the necessary tools and went to work. I went out and ran errands as he played mechanic. I was on the task of making Granny Irene's fabulous dressing, but didn't have a roasting pan. So, I went out to get the veggies and a roasting pan. I got home and made the corn breads and crumbled the French bread for the dressing. Geoff was still working hard, but finally finished and was successful! He even took me to dinner and we were able to stop the car!
On Sunday, we went to church and then met up with Geoff's friend Nick, his wife Angie and Nick's brother Chris to go on a hike. We have been wanting to do this hike, but had been waiting for the weather to get cooler. This was probably one of the hardest hikes, but the best hike we have done so far. The views were amazing. Mount Miguel is only a couple miles from our house and we drive by all the time. Now we can finally say we went to the top of that!!! I told Geoff next time my dad comes, he needs to take him on the hike. Not me! On the way down, I told Geoff maybe we can just drop him off!! There are two points on the trail. The first one is marked by a flag. You can walk to that and get a good view and a good hike, but we thought we needed the whole experience!!! So, we kept going to the cell phone and radio towers! Awesome!! When we finished, I was starving, so Geoff took me to Wings-N-Things! When we got home, we got to work on making the stock for the dressing. I bought a whole chicken, even though I only needed half, because of course, it was cheaper and I love chicken! So, I had to watch a video on how to cut this thing up. They sure make it look easy on the video!! I guess once you know what you are doing it is easier. Thankfully, I wasn't frying the chicken but boiling it, so who cares what it looked like!
On Monday, Geoff was off to work and schools were out, so after my run I asked Geoff what his lunch plans were. He had none, so I went and picked him up for a bite to eat. We went downtown to the Lucky's Lunch Counter. This was a cool little place and good! Geoff had some more time to waste, so I drug him to the packed commissary! But it was fun, and he got back right on time, perfect! Tonight, we had our Thanksgiving meal in San Diego! I got some Cornish game hens to go with our dressing!!
Thursday, we will be off to Pensacola for Thanksgiving and to see the new baby!
