Day 133 - Thursday, November 27, 1997
Grand Inn RV Park, Peoria, AZ - It seems the weather forecasters here are just as accurate as they are back home!! The storm blew over. Other than an hour of bad winds last night, it's been fine. In fact it is about 75º and sunny here!!We picked up our Thanksgiving dinner from Safeway today. We paid an extra $10 to have it heated when we picked it up. Unfortunately there were two rookies working the counter. They were an hour late getting it ready. When we got back to The Den we found that the mashed potatoes were cold and the pumpkin pie was frozen. On top of that they forgot the stuffing. So while Jim heated up dinner, Marci drove back to get the stuffing (cold). We finally ate around 4:00. It was magically delicious!!
Things we are thankful for:
 | Our continuing good fortune while traveling
| Our good health
| People not forgetting us
| All the change we've picked up from those people we've knifed
| Us being in such close proximity for so many hours per day, seven days a week, and still liking each other...a lot
| |
| Banana pudding, deviled eggs, macaroni and cheese, that cheesy broccoli and cauliflower stuff Jim's mom makes, Cokes® in a bucket, mini Snickers®, and a plethora of desserts
| Food fights with Jim's brothers
| Jim's mom's reaction to the inevitable food fights
| Discussing the possible existence of extraterrestrial life with Uncle Bob
| Eating two giant meals
| Knowing glances when we walk in the door a half hour late
| All the dogs hanging out together
| Seeing our relatives that we don't see very often
| Seeing everyone's reaction to our stupid video
| Mami collecting everyone's plate before they are finished eating
| Marci standing around the kitchen with the other women...totally lost
| Purging
| Arguing about something (anything) with Jim's brothers
| Not having to pay for dinner and still getting leftovers
| Dadi's amused surprise that Marci invited Jim...again
| Jim's mom's amused surprise that Marci invited Jim...again
| Jim's dad thinking he's sneaking leftovers to Buck
| Being with family
