Lynda Vista Thanksgiving Potluck

Just before sunup, waiting for the Balloons to lift.  The early birds get the goodies;

There they go!  Annual Yuma Balloon Festival this weekend.

The most I counted at one time in the air was 15

These birds had Grandstand seats to watch

Very beautiful.  This evening, they will all  lift together while lit up. And Glow up into the sky.

The Thanksgiving Potluck.  A good turn out, excellent food, and good visiting.  I'm only going to add very few captions, you all know who you are.

Our Park Manager, Ruth.  She cooked the turkeys in the Clubhouse ovens.  First year that Frank, her husband didn't make it.  He not feeling well, so stayed home. Missed you, Frank.

Not only did we celebrate Thanksgiving, but our Owner, Bob Rolle, had a Birthday today.  he's the one drinking coffee.  He and Lynda always go all out to make the Potlucks Special Events.  We miss some of the regulars that aren't with us anymore, but Welcome all the new faces!

Pat made (among other dishes) a Mince Pie.  I didn't think anyone would eat it, but there were compliments, and none left.  OK, I was wrong again.

Willie and Sue worked very hard carving ALL the turkeys. Not an easy task for so many people.

Joan is the Chairperson of the Social Committee.  She and her husband, Lonnie, Put time and effort into these activities.  It's not easy getting everything done, and keeping all the Residents happy.  She does a most wonderful job!

Mario.   Park Maintenance, Gardener, Carpenter, Mason, and all round handy man, attended with his wife.  He Blessed our meal.

Hi Don!

This picture of Brian will get sent to Marlys. They are Special Friends.  We all miss her being here in the park. She's 94 now, and living in Montana.

Bob and Lynda.  The Birthday Boy!  I can't think of ANY Park owner that devotes so much time to working on the grounds, and doing what's necessary for the good of the residents.  They are just nice folks!
