Thanksgiving-A Happy & Sad Time

The one thing about this lifestyle is missing family and friends during the holidays.  It seems strange to us to not be in the sticks and bricks having the house smell of turkey and all the family with us enjoying the day.  If Mark had to work we would have the holiday the following day and I would spend the day with friends.  This year even if we were still in the sticks and bricks it would not be the same as family situations have changed which makes us sad.  So we remember the past with smiles on our faces...

and look to the future to create new memories.

We got a free turkey and had planned on cooking it in a real oven in one of the clubhouses a couple of days before Thanksgiving.  I got the bird prepared, stuffed, in the bag and we loaded it in the golf cart.  Off we go to the clubhouses to discover that they had removed the ovens, they were there last week!  What to do...well we had no choice but to cook it in the caravan and I am happy to report that it turned out great, all 14 lbs of it. We have found the secret to a great turkey-take it for a ride before you pop it in the oven.  So you see we have already created a new memory!

So to all of our followers we hope you had something to smile about and that a memory was made.

Happy Day!
