Thanksgiving Day:
Well we got up early and started the preparations for our Thanksgiving Day dinner. First thing was to get the turkey breast ready. Well the turkey breast was split down the back so I had to go over to George's place to see if they had any string I could use to tie it together with, and bingo they had just what I needed. After tying the turkey breast together over the diet Coke can with wine in it, it went on the grill, see pictures. After just over 2 and a half hours it was done, getting it off the grill was a little tricky but we got it off without it falling onto the cement. Barbara covered it with some aluminium foil and stuck it into a cooler turned on it's side to keep it warm. Next was the chicken's turn, it went onto a diet Dr. Pepper can with some beer in it. Barbara did the mashed potatoes, the sweet potatoes, stuffing and green beans. Barbara's cousin Lill and Tom (Lill and Occie's neighbor and good friend) arrived at 1:30, Occie (Lill's husband) was not feeling well so it was just the four of us instead of five. We all had a great meal with way too much food, as usual, and a very nice visit.
Black Friday:
We awoke to a cold morning, it was about 58 degrees F, so Barbara got out the space heater we had bought at CostCo and warmed up the living room, kitchen area for us. After breakfast we decided to go do some more thrift store shopping. We had heard from people in the park there was another thrift store further up Rt 1 so we decided to see if we could find it. We did find it, and another one too, and the only thing we bought was a book of Christmas, I am sorry "Holiday" stories that are written to be PC (Politically Correct). For example; Frosty the Persun of Snow. Then seeing as we where so close to Melbourne we decided to go to the Brevard Art Museum ( http://www.brevardartmuseum.org ) to see what they had on display. They had an exhibition called Tools in Motion The Hechinger Collection. It was great, one of the sculptures was about 100 or more vise grip pliers mounted so it looked like a school of fish. For lunch we found Coasters Pub ( http://www.coastersbrewpub.com ) which has 100+ beers. They have over 30 taps so I got one of their samplers of five different beers and Barbara and I split a house salad and an order of fish and chips. Good beers and good food will have to go back there again. Then it was time to come back to the trailer. Instead of going back through Melbourne to US Rt. 1 or I-95 we drove down the barrier island on A1A to Wabassa were we crossed back over to the mainland. All in all a very surprising and pleasing day.
