At 9 I went to the ballroom
and helped Gloria decorate & set our table for dinner. Then we had a nice relaxing morning until we
went for Thanksgiving dinner at 1. At
the table with us were Dennis & Gloria, Ernie & Dianne and Moe &
Trish. Jerry & Erika were going to
join us but they will not be able to come here this year as Jerry is having
some health issues – we will miss them.
We had a nice turkey dinner alongside many “neighbors” filling the
ballroom.
We didn’t have anything else
planned so we went to a casino. We
eventually lost our allowance but we played for quite a while. Back at the rig we watched TV and had a light
supper.
Nov 23rd – Fri
Moe & Trish joined us for
some shopping this morning. We went to
Garden Ridge, World Market, BevMo and
Total Wine before stopping for a quick lunch. Then we shopped at WalMart (mostly for Trish)
and came home to put everything away.
We went to listen to music in
the courtyard from 3 to 5 and Gloria asked if we wanted to join them at Texas
Roadhouse for dinner. Sounded good as I
didn’t have anything planned. Moe &
Trish also came along with Trish as the designated driver in our truck
again. It was a good thing that Gloria
knew where the restaurant was located as they forgot to turn on their outside
lighting. We had another wonderful
dinner and brought home leftovers.
Nov 24th – Sat
We rode our bikes to say
Happy Birthday to Bill but he wasn’t home.
We went past Neal & Judi’s to accept an invitation to brunch and
chatted with Judi for a bit. We had to
come back to our place as I forgot Bandit’s treat and our next stop was Larry
& Julie’s where we got to say hello to Ed & Millie across the
street. Ron came by on his bike as we
were leaving and we mentioned that Bill was a “cowboy action shooter”. Ron also shoots so he came back with us to meet
Bill and we finally wished him a Happy Birthday.
We had a breakfast burrito
for lunch and Terry took some tables to Dennis & Gloria’s. We went to the Rancho’s pool area to clean
tables for a farewell party for Bob & Liz.
By the time we finished, people were arriving early to get seats in the
shade so I waited while Terry went home to get our booze bag. Robin & Liz passed around large trays of
jello shooters and the band North Star was playing. We had to leave before Curtis took a turn at
entertaining.
The reason we had to leave
early was to head to our second party of the day at Dennis & Gloria’s. It was an un-birthday party for Dennis as he
didn’t want a birthday party! So 16 of
us celebrated good friends instead of a birthday! Ernie & Dianne brought their guitars to
play & sing for us after dinner.
Bruce surprised us all by bringing his guitar and doing some singing of
his own. We didn’t make it a late night
as several of us are golfing tomorrow morning.
