Thanksgiving week

57º with rain at 10:00 am Monday morning as I start this in La Feria, TX.  Phyllis will start cooking turkeys Wednesday for about 55 people on Thanksgiving Day.

I helped serve Ice Cream last night at the Rec Hall.  Here Don
Ferguson is getting ready while his brother Lawrence, in the doorway,
is listening to Phyllis give the announcements to the crowd.

This is the group listening to Phyllis

Gabbing, as most of these are done eating.

All of the people fit in the Friendship Room - as the
hall is closed for some construction work on the walls.

GROANER’S CORNER:(( There were these two elderly people living in a Florida mobile home park. He was a widower and she a widow. They had known one another for a number of years. Now, one evening there was a community supper in the big activity center. These two were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered up his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"  After a dramatic pause and precisely six seconds of 'careful consideration,' she answered. "Yes. Yes, I will."  The meal ended with a few more pleasant exchanges and they went to their respective places. Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say 'no'?"  He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her.  First, he explained to her that he didn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past.  As he gained a little more courage, he then inquired of her, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"  He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and I meant it with all my heart."  Then she continued, "And I am so glad you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."

A man drinks a shot of whiskey every night before bed.  After years of this his wife wants him to quit, so she gets 2 shot glasses, filling 1 with water the other with whiskey.  She gets him to the table with the glasses and has his bait box there too.  She says "I want you to see this." She puts a worm in the water it swims around. She puts a worm in the whiskey and the worm dies. She says "so what do you have to say about this experiment?"  He says "IF I DRINK WHISKEY I WON'T GET WORMS!"
