Thursday Dee and I went downtown to pick up some last minute gifts (a "slide to jpeg" converter box for the computer). This will allow us to take some of the many beautiful slides we have and convert them to the kinds of files read by computers. Then, we'll be able to enjoy them again and again without having to set up the slide projector hoping that it works. We also got a "Toddy cold brew coffee making kit." We like iced coffee when it's made the right way (without ever touching hot water) and so we decided to make our own. It uses a pound of coffee at a time (we grind our own beans) and then makes 6 cups of concentrate that makes about 32 cups of iced coffee. We did lunch at Wholeys in the Strip District of Pittsburgh and had our coffee at the 21st Street Cafe - our favorite coffee spot.
Then, on the way home we stopped at Sams Club and picked up a few items before heading home. The temps were in the 40s and it was dry, so walking around town was very comfortable.
At home we began wrapping presents, and had a delicious roast with sauerkraut for dinner (thanks to the crock pot that cooked it while we were gone). We finished off the evening watching a PBS program about the history of the White House that we'd recorded earlier in the month.
