Thanksgiving Turkey
This year I tried a "brine" turkey. I made the brining solution and put the turkey and solution out in the garage over night.
Here is what the turkey looked like in the bucket.
Table all set waiting for the guests to arrive.
There we all are.
A year ago I had a similar picture of Kate.
Now it is a bit different.
"Where is my food!!!"
"Now that is better."

Water Softener Project
Kate and Gerardo's Water Softener has been leaking for a while and I went over this weekend to see if I could fix it. Bummer.... in the process I broke it completely. Time for a new one.
Here is the old one back in the corner.
Here is the new one. Is that a GE? 
Kate and the Little One checking us out. 
Removing the counter top to get room for the new one. 
The old piping, of course it didn't fit the new Softener. 
Starting to redo the piping. 
New by-pass valve installed. 
Here I am making some final adjustments. 
All done. Now I have to reinstall the counter top. That is for another week.

The Twins Birthday
Last Week I was off to California to see Fritz, Patricia, and The Twins. What a crew. 
Fritz and the Twins on their way to an audition for a modeling job.
The girl calculating her share.
Then it was off to Costco, we had hot dogs and drinks. The kids were very well behaved.
The girl playing with the insect Hand Puppets.
Their Birthday Party, a lot of babies and people. We had Pollo Campera, fried chicken with a Guatemalan recipe.
I can't believe all these babies!
Is that a dog?
Freddie with a Hand Puppet.
The girl checking how much money she had.
I will take these two with me.
