The day after

Well now that we've all gobbled our way into the waddling stage, it's time to relax a little.  We're parked at Ken and Jan's - next to our lot.  Just more convenient and closer for our short visit.  They have all the niceties of life - electricity, water and sewer, so we're living in the life of luxury.  We arrived here Sunday, Nov. 21 and have gotten groceries and done laundry, so we're set on those chores for a while.  Got our satellite set up so we have internet and DirecTV for a change.
Yesterday, had a wonderful turkey dinner with 14 friends (old and new) down the street at the Hick's home.  They have an indoor area where we gathered to eat at 1:30.  We ate gumbo first, a traditional in New Orleans - just spicy enough!  Then made our way through all the traditional Thanksgiving foods.  Afterward, sat around on the front porch and visited til about 5 PM when the cold front came through with a vengance and we all scurried home with our leftovers. 
Nice to have the humdity gone, but going to be chilly here for a few days before it warms back up to the 70's.  (80's and equal humidity was a little much since we got here).
Wednesday night we went with Ken & Jan to the New Braunfels Elks Club for their weekly steak dinner...a nice treat!
We still have chores left before we leave.  Need to get the slight damage on the RV fixed (from the tire blowout) and need to get the RV washed and waxed.
Hope all our friends and family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  As we launch ourselves into the Christmas season, may we all stop to remember the reason we are celebrating!

Here's a pix of our lot after we took out some trees and had gravel brought in for the driveway and parking pad last year.
