Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day- I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 27 to 49 degrees, light breeze, humidity around 11 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Friday: Sunny, with a high near 54. Light and variable wind. Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 29. South southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm.”
The cement pond in my front yard has frozen!
I skipped breakfast because I knew that I’d be eating bunches of food today! I got to the community center 1pm for our Annual Member Recognition Thanksgiving Pot Luck Party. There must have been around fifty hungry folks showing up. This is the fourth Thanksgiving the center has held it. As usual Mary Helen and Steve Tuttle, Ray and Ila Foyil were busy at work with other helpers preparing the feast. Steve and Ray cooked the turkeys the night before. There were all kinds of cakes, pies, and candied yams, and other yummy foods that folks brought. Everyone had full plates of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing; and a lot of folks went back for seconds and thirds! I could only stay for an hour or so because I had to make some calls to Family.
At 3:30 I then headed on over to Stoney’s where Denny, Judy, Dustin, Jimmy, Clarice, Johnny, and Mary all came up from out of town to celebrate Thanksgiving together; I was also invited. I thought they’d have ham, but instead this year they decided on turkey with all the trimmings! I got pretty much stuffed with bird. Dustin, 15 years old and a football player, can really put the food away! It was really great to see everyone and to tell tales of Stoney Stonebraker.
I got home and fell asleep for a spell and then read a few chapters of “The Secret Warriors: A Men at War Novel” by WEB Griffin.
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
