Comment: Happy Thanksgiving! After going to the boaters’ flea market at the Riverhouse, held an hour or so before the boaters Thanksgiving feast, we went back to the boat to get ready for our feast with the Henkels and their friends. If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you know George and Pat Henkel are great friends we first met in the early 70’s.Over the years, we have spent many holidays with them, including a few Thanksgiving feasts that included pancake eating contests usually held on the Saturday after Black Friday. Today, George is picking us up to take us to his RV site for a visit and then to his friends Kurt and Ruby who live a few doors down.

We had a great time visiting the Henkels and getting to know their friends, Kurt and Ruby and Richard, another neighbor who joined in the party. All too soon, it was time to head back to the marina for a cold dinghy ride back to SUNSHINE.

Thanks for the memories George, Pat, Ruby, Kurt and Richard! We enjoyed ourselves more than you can know.
