Usually on Thanksgiving, Wendy is cooking dinner for 20-30 people. However, living in a small efficiency apartment, a block from the beach, with it being over 70 degrees at 9am, you would think the whole Thanksgiving tradition would be a little diluted, if not lost all together. We had talked about going to Golden Coral for dinner and the kids were excited about the whole chocolate waterfall they're featuring.
Then, we bumped into Gail outside by the pool yesterday afternoon. She's a lady stricken with MS and has a hard time getting around. She's been living at the Pousada Inn and Suites as long as we have. Within minutes, Wendy and Gail planned a full Thanksgiving dinner that we're going to have for all those living at the motel. We're going to have it on the Hurricane deck at 4pm with all the fixings. Ruthie even made invitations that we went around and delivered to all the guests. The reactions we got from the other guests was priceless and we are looking forward to sharing dinner with all of them (around 20 of us all together).
Right now, we are watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, drinking coffee with eggnog and getting ready to devour Wendy's most delicious stuffed french toast, all to the smells of turkey and ham cooking.
so, I guess the tradition continues..... :-)
