Wednesday was spent getting things ready for Thanksgiving. I fixed the cucumbers and onions and got them to soaking, the green beans were on for a couple of hours with some salt pork and our secret ingredient and Evelyn made a cranberry jello dish that was also very good.
Thursday we went to the clubhouse about 1pm to help get things ready to serve, etc. at 1:30 people were gathering to eat some appetizers that different people had fixed. Some interesting items, one was a shrimp wrapped in bacon and then broiled, quite tasty, if I must say so. I am not really big on shrimp unless it is in a cocktail with sauce. The park furnished the turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, rolls and butter. Most everyone furnished a dish of some type from dressing to deserts and all in between. The green beans were a hit as was the cucumbers and onions. In fact, ours was the only green beans there. Everything was delicious, at least what I ate. I did not get to sample a lot of in and unlike last year at Dreamcatcher RV park in Deming, NM, we did not bring it all back on Friday to eat again. They do things different at the Lone Star Corral here in Hondo, TX, but that is alright, everyone has their preferences and that is the way they do it here. Maybe we can try another park next year and see how they do it. In the afternoon, it was rest and try to digest all of the good food that was consumed.
Friday we did not do a lot other than going with Mike to the local Ford dealer to remove a scooter lift from a van that a lady here in the park had traded in on another car. That only took about an hour, a really simple job.
Today we cleaned house and did some research. We picked up Mike and Carlin and went to Church's Chicken for supper and then back home. Nothing special planned for tomorrow. So it goes at the Lone Star Corral in Hondo, TX.
