Thanksgiving passed deliciously Thursday. 
We had 15, great food and fun at the house on the hill.
Superman, WonderWoman, 3 Grandparents, 
3 Grandhunks, 1 Uncle, 2 girlfriends, 4 young men.

We started what we think will be a new tradition. 

The superheroes bought tickets for the whole row and

we went to the Starlight theater at 7:45 to see Creed II.

We all gave it a great review. 

Afterwards,  the "young & restless" headed for 
the Irvine Spectrum to get an late night start at the sales at their

stores opening at midnight for "Black Friday"*.

(*named for merchants selling enough to pull them out 
of the negative red ink to the positive black ink in sales.)

Friday morning early, Black Friday, WonderWoman 
picked me up & we upheld the little known 
tradition of shopping at Fashion Island in Newport Beach

We have always gone early, no crowds, lines or trampling people.

Just some sales in a beautiful uncrowded setting.

We both like the same stores & WW gets me to walk a lot.

We were there before the first store opened, and before the crowds.

 It was a beautiful  day and we shopped in many stores. 

WW and I found some great buys.

I often found a cushy chair & people watched.

Fashin Island has a beautiful koi pond and

the koi evidently may have confused me
with their feeder, as they swam to me.

We had lunch at R&D kitchen, we both chose a delicious 
spinach & feta omelet which was perfect.
I could have photographed it , but I ate it instead.
Second daughter, Cheryl, joined us after lunch and
we three shopped two more hours.

A great day with my super hero.

Thanks WonderWoman!

A smile for Saturday ...
