Valentine’s Day Dinner at Blue Lagoons


It has been an unusually chilly winter here, and many of the restaurants are still closed while undergoing repairs from hurricane Harvey. Luckily every year, our rv park, Blue lagoons, hosts a Valentines Day dinner. Its organized by the activities director,
Zita, and her husband Alan. Zita sets the whole dinner up and with the help of volunteers, and decorates the hall, while Alan, a Kansas City Pit master, smokes Texas quail, Atlantic salmon, and prime rib.
Others volunteered to host, and Della took Valentines photos, (I will add ours when we get it), of all those whom wanted images of the night’s festivities. The downside of this year’s feast, was the raging flu epidemic that was running through the park.
The places at the tables were all set, but there were many no shows, couples who took deliveries instead of spreading or risking catching another bout.
We sat at a table with Pam and Roy and Mary and Rich. Thankfully, Pam and Roy had both just recovered from the flu, while we hoped that we wouldn’t catch it again, (many are)! After a brief prayer of thanks, tables were called up for serving, with the quail and fish served first.
Getting served we enjoyed a delicious meal and pleasant conversations with friends and family. I did forget to bring my own camera but went back home to take images of all of all those attending.
Afterwards we visited with friends at other tables, before calling it a night and retreated to our warm rv. It was a good night, with my own Valentine, Renita. Clear skies
