Happy Thanksgiving to all of you,
Today, was somewhat of a relaxing day.

A great Thanksgiving dinner, turkey and all the trimmings was prepared mainly by Char, but helped by Vadie, Kellie, Char’s daughter, Jackie and Glennis – Char’s friends.  Not only the great turkey dinner, but the dessert of black bottom pumpkin pie (chocolate on bottom) and pecan pie (one regular and one rum).  I had to try all of these of course, and I cannot really decide which was the best.

All afternoon, we all wanted to take a fiesta.

I did manage however to get ontop of the coach to check and repair the air conditioner shroud.  It was broken by the previous owner and was in need of repair, as I seen it bounce around in the wind coming down.

For supper we ate left overs, and as many of us know, leftovers taste twice as good as the original meal, hmmm how is that possible.

John, Jackie’s husband, who is a real handyman around the house, I asked if he could make/repair a drawer for us in the bus.  This is probably one of the few things that I cannot do with the tools I have available, and Powell does not have them either.
The cupholders in the front of the coach, has been repaired numerous times, and finally the wood is totally split.  This will be modified using a drawer instead of pullouts.  We also mentioned that there is no rush but we intend to leave on Monday LOL.

I got belated birthday wishes from my mother and sisters – thanks to all.
