SCRAPBOOK
for the week of November 25-December 1, 2024
I finally made it a Warriors game!
I hadn't been to a Warriors game in 2 years! Those ticket prices are bit much now. However, on Monday, November 25, my partner was invited to a Warriors game for their Hoops For Troops event and he got a +1.
We saw the Warriors take on the Brooklyn Nets, so that was exciting, because my partner is from New York! The Nets won (yay!) 128-120.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience. Both sides put on a great game and it was a competitive game until the end! The Nets came back to win it in the last quarter!

We got a new cat! In the back, that is. - It started with 1, a black cat that was been
coming into our yard for about a year. It doesn't come consistently, but every once in a while I'll see it and leave food for it. A couple of months ago, I started seeing a black and white cat coming around and I leave food for it. And now we have gray cat! This particular cat will come up to our sliding door to let me know it wants food, but it will not let me pet it.
Tuesday night into Wednesday was a busy - but joyful - time.
It started, Tuesday night, with our friend, Momo, coming to visit. It was a nice visit and needed visit. She spent the night and then we had to go pick up 128 turkeys to give away in Oakland. We picked them up late at night, so they would be ready - but still frozen - in the early morning of Wednesday.
I'm very thankful to WinCo for allowing a simple and easy process of ordering such a large number of turkeys and even assisting us with loading them in our vehicle!
Wednesday morning, we gave away all 128 turkeys. There was well over 200 people in line, so we had to do a lottery style giveaway. We're glad to be able to do this, annually.
A HUGE thank you to Masonic Lodge, OAKLAND 61, for sponsoring this giveaway!
I can't front. The giveaway wasn't all roses. There was a lot of general stress -before we even started! And there were some rude people we had to deal with.
But the day ended well. We went to see Wicked Part 1 with Momo! I wasn't sure if the Glinda/Elphaba color scheme was going to happen, but Momo did remember her green (shirt) and so I put on my pink (dress). - It's worth noting that more than our clothes matched. She put on only tinted moisturizer and mascara, so I kept my make-up simple that day and did the same. She wore flats, so I did as well. Even the length of our coats match.
The cup in my hand is for Moana 2 though.
And we had a good Thanksgiving with Momo! We watched "Me Time" and had a good dinner.
The Lions beat the Bears and are now 11-1! (Unfortunately, the Giants lost to the Cowboys. I didn't even watch the 3rd game, but Miami lost to Green Bay.)
We got a lot cleaned and also put a table and 6 new chairs together, so that we could have company. Our house is really becoming a proper home!
