Every day has a blessing. It may be hard to find but it is always there. Valentines Day was a huge blessing as our park holds a fabulous dinner feast. The whole thing was organized by our friends Zita and Alan, the entertainment directors. For the past eight years we have been blessed to have them try to include everyone in all the celebrations.
Of course, volunteers play a huge part in its success. A large group does the setup and tear down. Our part this year was to be the photographers, (we are more used to taking pictures of birds and bears, than people).
Alan does most of the cooking,(with Zitas help). He’s a Kansas City Grill Master and Chef and he smoked prime rib and Cornish hens. Added to that was a kettle of au jus sauce, a huge baked potato, fresh baked rolls, salad, and a red velvet brownie, (with assorted chocolates).
Sixty couples made advanced reservations, and the club house was full!
A large contingent are from Buncombe Creek, at Lake Texoma, and they decided to have a group photo!
We were led in a short prayer by Chris and then the meal began!
Later an auction was held to raise money for our clubhouse kitty. It was also a success, (and for the first time I was outbid, so no prime rib dinner when we go to Grand Isle, perhaps frog legs?). The celebration was an outstanding success! Our blessing was to be together and celebrate with each other and with friends we have met from around the United States and Canada!
Clear skies
Looks like a great time. Stay safe and healthy!
