Awake: 5:23am Temp 46 sleep 5+49 foggy, then sunny overnight @
Livingston, TX.
Kathy joins the line dancing group @ 8:00am for 1.0 hr of exercise.
Melissa calls @ 10:00am with “Happy Thanksgiving” wishes; they are
enjoying a nice weather day & will be going to my brother’s place mid
afternoon for Thanksgiving dinner. When Kathy returns from her dancing,
she talks with Melissa a little & then begins preparing the yams for a
sweet potato dish + a large broccoli casserole dish.
About 1:30pm we drive the Suzuki with the hot covered (sweet potato dish &
broccoli casserole) to the activity center; take our hot dishes into the
building & place them on our # 14 table. I return our Suzuki to our
parking site, then walk back to the activity center just in time for the
singing & spoken prayer.
Escapee headquarters supplied the turkey & gravy & each couple was asked
to bring 2 complimenting dishes; the hostess of each table met with the
couples at her table and planned the meal. There were 10 people per table
(a few had 12 people) & 20 tables. It was an expensive meal; our cost for
the actual meal: $2.00 each, not counting our hot dishes. But it was
G-R-E-A-T, delicious + very organized.
After Kathy stores the leftover food from our dishes, we take a walk down
providence road west from the campground for an hr of exercise. It was the
ideal thing to do: the road was tree lined & cool; only 3 cars passed
during our walk time & we both (esp. me) needed that activity after eating
such a good meal.
Before dark, I retract the slides & store the portable water filters.
Mid evening satellite movie: “Topper” with Constance Bennett, Cary Grant,
Roland Young, Billie Burke, Alan Mowbray, etc. A delightful gimmick comedy
with ghosts Grant & Bennett dominating life of meek Young, the bank
president; 1937. It was good enough comedy & entertainment for Kathy,
which kept her awake even after her busy day & all the extra activity.
Eating popcorn during the movie didn’t hurt either!
I call & leave a message for Larry in San Diego.
Connie & Glen call from Burlington, WA.
Katrina called this evening but we didn’t get her “Happy Thanksgiving”
message until sometime Saturday. Thanks Kat!
