Thanksgiving Like No Other We Have Had

My parents live a couple hours from where we were so we planned to surprise my Mom on her Birthday and stay for Thanksgiving.  There was only one rental car agency in town and they wanted a ridiculous amount of money to rent a car for a few days.  Plus, they weren’t helpful getting the car to us and it was going to be a bugger getting there. So, we decided to stay with our Looper Family.

We had 9 people to share the day with. We reserved the clubhouse balcony.  Yes, it was warm enough to do Thanksgiving dinner outside.  We divvied up the menu. We all have tiny boat ovens, several people had to do the meat. We loaded the food on bike carts, wagons and dock carts and took it all to the club house.

We had food packed in the trailer behind our bike and I carried a cooler. You gotta do whatchya gotta do.

We found tables in the laundry room and took chars from by the pool and made a nice table. Teresa Lasher even had table cloths on board her boat.  We were not lacking anything as far as the dinner was concerned.

Our table. We had crock-pots and electric fry pans and Sterno. You name it to keep our meal warm. We are an innovative group

We all joined hands and thanked our generous Lord for this amazing day and every day he gives us. (I know I have a goofy look on my face)

We did have amazing weather. Sunny high 70s.  It was something to be eating Thanksgiving dinner outside.   Scott and Steve went swimming. The pool was cold but they warmed up in the hot tub afterwards.

Yes Steve was the first in. Scott concedes. THIS TIME.

Once Scott heard the splash he was right behind him.

It wasn't long before they were in the hot tub warming up.

When it got dark, we discovered these fun little turtles lit up.

We missed the family dearly, but were thankful to have people to share our blessings with.

Thanks for reading.
