Happy Thanksgiving

It's that time of the year again.  All the Christmas sales are going on and the TV is full of sales ads.  That must mean it's Thanksgiving time already.  Gerry and I will be having dinner at the clubhouse here at CCRV, the same as the last 7 years.  The RV park provides the turkeys, mashed potatoes and gravy.  All the attendees bring a side dish or dessert and there usually more food than we all can eat.
 I expect this to be the case again this thanksgiving.

This year will find the Clark family all over the place with Cassie & Jack going to Bethany Beach, DE; Larry, Jane and Grant in Mint Hill, NC while Barbara & Henry will be in Concord, NC.  I am not sure where Darlene & Tom are going this year, but hope they have a Happy Thanksgiving wherever they are.

When we had the house in Maryland, it was always a big party at Thanksgiving and more food than could possibly be eaten.  The football games were on TV and there was bedlam in the house.  We loved it all while it lasted, but the children now have their own families and traditions.  Maybe next year we will join them like we did two years ago.  Tell Henry to get the extension leaf ready for the table again.  

We also want to take this opportunity to wish all our friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving.  Gerry's family had a favorite saying for the holiday:  "Happy Gibbens" and it is fondly remembered in our house.
