Early Thanksgiving

Usually there has been an advertisement in the newspaper for our special events. This time, it was advertised only to residents so they could invite family members and friends. Even our “hermits” came out of hiding. Among other things, the goal was to get new people to move in. I saw a few “eligibles” joining us. We have been promised an individual $1000 reward for all who sign up before November “31”. Being a stranger in a strange land, I had no candidate to invite.

Many of the residents and I worried that the mongrel horders from area senior centers would descend on our celebration. They show up at advertised lunches to stock up on their refrigerated store of food with absolutely no intention of moving in. Some of the ladies who know them personally deeply resent that when the hordes make the food run out. They did not invade this time. I was wrong to worry about that.

The meal was wonderful. Thanksgiving baked turkey, ham and yam, and all the trimmings. The utensils were all paper or plastic so there was no lipstick residue on the glasses. Now, that was a positive change.
