HAPPY THANKSGIVING ONE AND ALL!

Well, I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving.  We have so much to be grateful for.  For me, it is family, all the great people I know and freedom.  I think of all of the people in the world whose freedoms and being taken away bit by bit and many of them live day to day, like Israel, diving into bomb shelters.  I am very grateful for the cease fire in Israel and hope that God intervenes and brings peace to that area, which is the only way peace will happen there.  I am also thankful for my family and look forward to speaking to the kids each today as they enjoy their holiday.  And for many dear people that I miss and am so thankful for what each of them brings into my life.  I am grateful for the many new people that we have met along the way of our trip and how glad I am that our paths have crossed.  God is so good, and I believe that EVERY good thing comes from above.  We can never say thank you enough.
Today we got to enjoy a fantastic meal right here in our RV park.  They prepared and wonderful meal for 400 people.  It was about as good a Thanksgiving meal as you could get (other than home cooked) and included ALL of the trimmings.  There is a restaurant here in the park that draws people from all over the Rio Grande Valley and the meals there will knock your socks off.  Right now they serve breakfast and lunch and beginning in December they will serve dinner as well.  Their Fish Fries on Friday nights attract about 700 people.  All you can eat.  And the same goes for chicken dinners on Monday nights.  
We had planned to go see the move "Lincoln" this afternoon, but the turkey had its usual effect and I fell asleep shortly after we got home.  So much for the movie, maybe Saturday we will go.
Below are pictures of our Thanksgiving dinner...........
