Yesterday, we enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving Feast here in Chimney Park Resort. I think it was the best yet. The only downside to a communal dinner is the lack of leftovers the next day. Boo hoo, no turkey sandwiches for us.
Wayne and I are all settled into routines for the winter months. We are walking and biking to improve our fitness levels and general health. Wayne bought a new bike rack, so we can transport the bikes to the trails. Can't wait to give it a try. I am walking the perimeter of the park each week day morning with my friend Judith. We are starting small and building our way up. One lap equals half a mile. Goes quicker and easier when you have someone to talk to. lol I have to set my alarm to get out of bed. So far so good.
The park recognized all the veterans with an honour guard and dinner on Veteran's Day (Remembrance Day) Supper was a shrimp boil with shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes. It was delicious. A new taste sensation for Wayne and I. Thank you Chimney Park.
I have been busy quilting. When in Kansas, I bought a few small kits. I have finished a table topper for Christmas. It is a circular mat with holly leaves and berries around the edge. The berries are small red button. I'm very pleased with it.
Wayne and I are responsible for the Sunday evening ice cream. Despite a few supply issues, all is going well. Especially like the butter pecan flavour. Yum!
The Ladies Who Lunch Bunch are back in action. A varied group of us go out for lunch once a month. We had our first lunch at Cheddars Restaurant. It was a lot of fun. Especially when my table ate an appetizer meant for another table. Oh well sh..t happens.
The weather has been warm and fairly humid. Wayne and I have been swimming more this month than the entire last season. Hope the trend keeps up.
Wayne snapped this photo of a sugar cane field fire. The farmers light the cane on fire to make the harvest easier. The fire flares up very high and burns hot and quickly.
To finish off, I thought I would show you the butterflies hovering around my flower pot. This is an Ixora. The butterflies seem to love it.
