A little cooler today, but still very nice. We spent most of the morning reading and playing with the dogs. Around noon Tina went and checked when we would have to be at the clubhouse to help with serving Thanksgiving Dinner. Then she came back and fixed a green bean casserole and a strawberry pudding to take with us.Around 1:30 PM we headed out with our goodies and checked in at the kitchen where we were told it was a serve yourself dinner so we could just hang out and mingle, which we did. We marked our seats at one of the twelve tables and by 2:00 PM all the food was set out, the turkeys carved and grace was said.
Then it was time to dig in. The turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy were on the kitchen serving counter while all the side dishes were arranged on several long tables through the center of the room. All the desert dishes were arranged on a table at the opposite end of the hall.With plates in hand everybody loaded up and dug in. There was plenty of conversation at our table of eight. Tina was on my left with Carol and Frank next to her, another couple to Franks left, then Big Jim and Richard were next to me. We have played Eucher with Carol and Frank. Lots of talk about bike riding, billiards, golf, family and friends so it was a very enjoyable afternoon.
As people finished their deserts, everyone pitched in to help clean up. Later, another group came back to make turkey soup with the leftovers, bringing carrots and celery to add in. We got home about 4:30 PM, stuffed to the gills. Sometime around 6:00 PM Tina went back to the club house and brought back a tupper full of soup, but we were both too full to eat so we saved it for tomorrows lunch.We spent the rest of the evening relaxing and watching TV.
