11/23/2001 Entry: "TURKEY DAY !!!!!!!"

For many of us, including me, this was the first time we have celebrated with Thanksgiving without our relatives and family. But it wasn't, however, a dissapointment. The dining facilty and the Mess Sergeant did one heck of a job putting on a Thanksgiving feast. Everything from turkey, to giblet gravy, to pecan and pumpkin pies. The food was out of this world and the decorations really set the atmosphere. There was, of course, plenty to eat. We could not help but think about our families at home celebrating Thanksgiving, but we had nothing to complain about here, I guess it was the next best thing.

With Thanksgiving over, and waking up to heavy snow this morning, there is no doubt that winter and the holidays are upon us.

Well, I guess I better be off to the treadmill and work off some of Thanksgiving !!
