Happy Thanksgiving

It has been a busy couple of weeks for Jeni and I

The park had a breakfast a few Saturdays ago and we helped out as they were shorthanded. We were on the "egg crew".Jeni cracked and I cooked about 250 eggs!It was yummy.They served biscuits&gravy,eggs,and sausage.

Last Friday we headed to Pasadena to meet up with the family for our annual ASU college football game.This year they are playing UCLA in the Rose Bowl.Saturday before the game,we had breakfast at a delightful little diner called "Russell's."Clockwise from the left that's our son Dan and grandson Nevin,me,Jeni,my sister in law Martha, brother Gary,grandson Aiden,brother Larry,and Dans friend Mark.What a "motley "crew.ASU lost but we still had a great time.

Our plans have changed for Thanksgiving.We are staying at the park instead of going to Riverside as we had planned.This is our last week here at the park.We will leave Monday for Folsom and our winter job at Folsom lake state park.We have had a wonderful time workamping here at Park Sierra.We have made some great friends here and when we become members we will already know the ropes.

This week the Maintenance dept decided that since this was my last week here, we will pour concrete!Tuesday we poured two slabs and some footings.The slabs were for containment pads for

their gas and diesel tanks.The footings were for

a cover over the parks historic stagecoach by the clubhouse.It was the first time I actually had to "finish" concrete in a long time.Jeni took some pictures of our "motley crew'.I really enjoy working with all the guys here.For me, work has to be a part of my life.that's why the park will be a perfect fit when we are members.Jeni and I can't wait to become members.

Wednesday,Jeni helped prepare the turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner here at the park.They cooked 11 turkeys in all.The clubhouse had the

delicious smell of thanksgiving feast.Thanksgiving day we are helping out again,serving turkey dinner to about 130 people in the park.
To everyone,from Jeni and I,HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
