Thanksgiving Day, 2012.
This year saw the first
Thanksgiving we’ve spent away from family in a long time – and we missed our
two sons and their families so very much.
That said, our ABC campground hosts here in Branson went out of their
way to make the holiday as friendly as possible. They provided smoked turkey, dressing and
mashed potatoes, plus all the required eating utensils and iced
tea/coffee. Each camping party who
wanted to partake of the Thanksgiving feast was to bring a side dish; Lynette
fixed a fruit salad and we also brought a couple dozen rolls. I guess there must have been over a good 100
people who ended up coming to the family center for the Turkey Day feast. We
sat with a couple from Louisiana and had a good time. Good conversation and plenty of food for
all. While I wouldn’t call it a “great”
Thanksgiving – since we were away from our family – we were thankful for the
good weather and feastive atmosphere.
The campground hosts also held a drawing for a number of vouchers for
free show tickets and we lucked out, picking up free admittance to another show. This first trip to Branson for us is turning
out to be a great Christmas gift to each other.
