11/22/07 Thanksgiving


HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
Our day started at nine with a meeting of all the activities workampers. This gave us a chance to meet the members of the Blue and Red teams that we hadn't met yet. Soon the meeting was over and it was time to get the show on the road and getting this Thanksgiving dinner preparation under way.

Fourteen turkeys needed to be prepped for cooking while the men set up the tables and chairs.
While the activities teams were busy getting the turkeys in the roasters residents were busy decorating their tables.

Here's a look at the finished tables before everyone arrived for dinner.

There was a contest for the nicest decorated table and this one won.


Before long we were done all we had to do at this point and were free to go. We agreed we would all be back a three o'clock since "our guests" were to arriving at four.

Four o'clock came quick and dining room was full of hungry diners. Everyone brought their dishes to share and there so was soooo much food! Each table sat 22 and each table had enough food to feed 33!

After everyone's tummies were full it was time for the cleanup. Our jobs weren't done yet. Everyone pitched in and it didn't take us all that long to make our Thanksgiving Dinner nothing more than a pleasant memory. It was now time for all of us to waddle home after all we had eaten.

A really nice Thanksgiving to be sure.
