End of Thanksgiving week.

La Feria, TX 53 degrees with very light mist.   Click on photos to enlarge. 

 4:15 pm on Saturday - Just finished 8.5 miles on trike, but my windshield wipers weren't working on my eyeglasses, so came in.

Meal for Thanksgiving at the Rec Hall went well.  Served around 90 people.

 Phyllis headed up a crew that prepared 6 turkeys, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy.  Everyone
brought a dish and there was quite a variety of vegetables, salads, deserts, etc.

This is earlier in the day

and they were checking

on the dressing.

Lot of checking on the dressing!

Judy and Maxine

were in charge of arrainging

the desserts and

side dishes.

On Wednesday, we had just brought the turkeys in from the local market in La Feria, El Centro.

Unbagging, washing,

and putting the

turkeys in the roasters.

Cindy came in to take pictures of the kitchen work -- maybe some of them will be on Kenwood's Facebook page.

Cutting up the French

Bread for the

dressing.

More bread cutting.

Last Sunday we drove, with the Winslows

 over to South Padre Island for a sea-food fix.

Fried mushroom appetizers were delicious. Among the 4 of us we had shrimp bisque, shrimp, scallops, fish and oysters.  Good eating.

Drove up along the coast a ways and walked out once.  Was quite windy and high waves -- red flag flying as warning.

Coming across the causeway

back toward Port Isabel on the 

mainland.

After Ice Cream and Announcements Sunday evening we played dominoes with Dave and Jan Engle

and Don and Lawrence Ferguson.

 Have been trying to ride

my trike at least 10 miles

a day.  Have done several

8-mile days and a couple

13 and 14 mile days.

These five photos were taken as we rode from west to east on the street (unused mostly) on the
outside of the fence.

Nice to have the Holiday week about over.  Have talked with the kids and all doing well.  Granddaughter announced we will be Great-Grandparents in June.  Niece is still in hospital St. Louis, hopefully she will get to go home today or tomorrow, though is still having kidney problems.  Son and all his family made it to Clarinda this afternoon from eastern Iowa; hope they make it back home this evening safely.

Watched on TV as Iowa football team got their 12th win of the season--over my home-state Nebraska team that hasn't done well this year.
