Whew, l must admit l am determined. l finally figured out how to finally manage to get back to writing a new post. After a few months (since my arrival in November) of gallivanting otherwise known as partying and finding time to do little else............l was determined to sit down and write about a recent event that has once again taken me totally by surprise. Thus my determination/frustration............as l age if l do not consistently repeat an activity l soon forget about it until l want it and then l have to stop, focus and really think about what n' the he..... l am doing.
A gang of fourteen of us gathered last Saturday for our very first Thanksgiving dinner in March. We all travel, play hard, have a million other "things" to do............like me...........love painting, traveling, visiting, entertaining others and myself.........and of course shopping...........(just ask my amigo Utley)
but l digress and l really want to talk about this wonderful event l am naming " Thanksgiving celebration in San Pancho".........l cooked a turkey (thank you dear daughter Jen for sending me back to Mexico with a huge roasting oven) doctored up some stuffing mix, opened up some cranberries............and the rest of the menu was made up by those who attended.............corn bread, mashed and sweet potatoes, gravy, string beans with almonds, green veggie salad, and the piece de resistance ambrosia salad.........plus every ones favorite fresh pumpkin pie...........and less l forget.........for appetizers spring rolls.............what a feast.............my table immediately got into a very happy mood with three bottles of wine..........and we were surprised with some of the best music l have heard with Fred on harmonica and Drew on guitar.............so much to be thankful for...........Julia who hosted the event at her casa with views of the jungle and the ocean, sunset not to be over looked..............good, good friends, spirit, food, energy............as all of us who attended the event begin to travel again, promising to celebrate Thanksgiving again next year probably in March.
