Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving was spent here at Turkey Creek RV Park in Hollister.  The park manager organized a meal whereby the park provided turkey and gravy and those in the park provided their favorite side dishes.  To pay for the turkey, guests were charged $2 each for the meal. 

About 20 people shared the meal.  Prepared dishes ranged from the traditional mashed potatoes and green bean casserole to the unusual--homemade noodles in gravy.  Desserts, salads and breads were aplenty.  Donna made acorn squash and scalloped corn.  We both ate too much.  I did miss the late night leftover turkey for sandwiches though.

Since there was so much food remaining, we reconvened on Friday night to finish off the 40 pounds of turkey and the remaining go-withs.  Again we ate too much but we did score some left over turkey to return home with for late night snacking.

It was a good day--the temperature reached into the 60s with a bright sun, and both the Lions and Cowboys lost their NFL games.  Not quite like being home but not bad.
