After Thanksgiving Dinner

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 45 degrees, high 67 degrees, cloudy skies, breezy

The weather seemed cooler than it was because the wind was blowing. A jacket felt good whenever I was outside. We had planned to put the awning out and eat at the picnic table at out site, but it was just too windy and cold. Instead, we set everything up inside the RV and had a great after Thanksgiving dinner that Carolyn prepared.

We got an early start on the food preparations this morning. Instead of turkey, we bought a baked chicken at HEB, which saved some time and tasted great. This was the first time that we had cooked a lot of food using the gas oven in the RV, and it worked well. Julian and Zoe had asked that Carolyn prepare her garlic mashed potatoes and iced tea. She did, but also cooked squash casserole, turnip greens, cornbread dressing, english peas, and gravy, with cranberry sauce on the side. Lori brought some pies for dessert. Carolyn sent most of the leftovers home with Lori.

After we ate, we went for a walk in the park. I talked to a man who was fishing from the bank of the river, who said that a lot of salt water fish are caught there, even though it is about 20 miles from the coast. Maybe I'll see if I can have any luck this week.

The holidays are nice, and it's always a happy time of year for us, but they sure are tiring. Personally, I'll be glad when the holidays are finished.

More later, be safe.
