This is our Rec Hall here at Bentsen Palm RV. Park here in Mission Texas.
We live about 3 small lots to the right of this hall; thats right next to the pond, it has a fountian in the middle of it. The spray sound soothes us too sleep in the evenings.
This is Christmas day and we have been a very busy day. Last evening Mac put the turkeys in the electric roasters. Through out the night he went to the hall to check on them. This morning all the turkeys and hams were cooked to perfection. Mac went to the hall at 6 AM. and by 9AM he had 4 turkeys and 4 hams all sliced and ready to serve by 12 noon.
About 9AM the table decorators and came in with thier crew. so We stayed around and helped moved tables and chairs to fit over 150 people.
Mac went home for a shower and I got dressed up in a classic long black dress with a shaw that siver threads decorated it. I wore my black and siver jewellery.

Dinner was delicious with everyone bringing their favorite, potatoe, salad, veggie or dessert.

When everything all cleaned up we left the hall at 2PM.for a wee rest. I sat and wrote a letter to my kids it was time to go back to the hall to play card bingo. About 40 people played. we broke up into groups of 4 people, each group had a deck of cards. The whole deck was passed out to each of the 4 players. The leader had a deck of cards and called out the card suit and who every had there ncard called turned their card over, Wen all your cards all turned over you could go to a table where we all brought $5.00 gift, you choose a wrapped gift and left it wrapped, brought back to where you were seated. We played for one hour, everyone had achance to go and exchange a gift with anyone many times til the game was called closed you then opened your gift you had beside you. This was alot of fun.

I recieved a beautiful wee table cloth, of winter scences,

After that we went home took our left overs to the hall to share with each other.

Later we invited David and Peggy over to watch a DVD we recieved for Christmas of Red Skelton and many more TV nostalga.

We had a very fulll day and are very exausted.

The next day I helped cooked lunch with David and Peggy for the people who came to play ,sing or just listen to the country jam. We made nearly
$100.00 from the lunch. It was worth the effort.

Mac and I then went to drug store and walmart and came home. Took out the halls New Years Eve Decorations. Tomorrow mac and i will go and buy hats noise makers etc.
Busy , busy busy .
