Thanksgiving (American!)

This has been a very interesting week here in the USA with the American Thanksgiving taking place.  I honestly feel as if this is a more important holiday here than Christmas!  Everything gets shut down on Thursday - except for the large dinners and such.  We also celebrated with a turkey dinner with Cliff and Suzanne and Phil and Betty.  They had a huge dinner in the hall but we chose not to attend.  It was like a pot luck where you belong to a table and bring and cook your own turkey (supplied by CalAm!) along with the rest of the meal which is supplied by the rest of the table!!  They do a similar thing at Christmas but with ham.  I think that we have 16 Canucks to do that with!!
Kit and Betty went shopping  on Thursday night for a few hours and picked up some bargains at the sales - which went all night and all of  Friday!  Needless to say, the park was pretty quiet for the last two days.

Now, everyone is in a race to get the Christmas decorations up!  The is a extent of our decorations right now!!

Soon, there will a small tree being born but I'm not sure where it will live.

There also three boxes of lights in storage soon to be wrapped around our palm tree to try to keep up with the rest of the folks.  We got the lights at Costco of course!  Speaking of  Costco, I have never seen it so busy as it was last week.  I guess that it was a product of the season.  It will interesting to see if the Christmas season will be as busy.

The weather has been great as usual.  Not as hot but sunny every day and temps in the low 70's, as well as no wind!!  The empty lot across the street is Lenko's.  So sad to see it empty!!

Your's truly has been suffering from his annual cold for the past few days and he is not happy.  As a matter of fact, I had to cancel out of my golf game on Friday, so I'm just sitting here doing puzzles and watching hockey and football on TV and feeling sorry for myself while the rest of the world moves forward!  Anyway, this too will leave and we will drop back into normalcy.  Kit is very happy to spend her time in the sewing room.

GO STAMPS GO!!
