A day at my cousin's house for an early Thanksgiving with my Grandparents. They head back to Florida on Tuesday, so we have a family gathering before they leave.
A fun day, though it was pretty hot. Especially when you are standing in the sun, in front of two pots of oil, cooking turkeys and vegetables. Hot, but tasty.
The kids were good today, and I spent a bit of time showing the two girls some basic OST chords. They were pretty quick to pick it up, but dropped the chords a bit later just to strum away. A question from Kat as to whether I knew how to play "Life is a Highway" (they have the Rascal Flatts version from the Cars soundtrack, rather than the Tom Cochrane original). I didn't know it, but I asked for the iPod and was able to figure out the basic form. Kat needs a guitar sized for her (11 year-old hands are pretty small), and once she has that, it would be much easier for her to play. Her current guitar is a really terrible hand-me-down acoustic that really can't be tuned (and when it is tuned, it doesn't stay there). Turning over ways to rectify that.
Some quiet time with the family (naturally, some bad jokes from my uncle). My cousin has done an outstanding job on the house. He's basically redone the entire house himself (with a few assists from contractors), and it looks great. He bought the house after his grandfather died, and it has been fun to watch it change, and to see my uncle's pride in how the renovations have come out.
Home, and to bed early.
