"Never trust a girl that can't swim!"

Thanksgiving was different this year. Really made us be thankful for our family and friends back home that we miss!! Surprisingly, we did have a delicious typical T-day dinner with good people! Went over to Jess' house, a new friend we met out sailing last month who moved here around the same time we did.  His girlfriend, Meg, is in town visiting and she is a much better chef than I could ever be - Turkey, stuffing, salad, cream of spinach, mashed potatoes. (I made simple break and bake cookies for dessert).

Kayo sat in this spot the entire time we were at their house! I think he ate double what everyone else did!

We ate on his balcony and this was our view...

Then went across the street to Caribbean Saloon to watch some football and play some Blackjack. Gambling is only legal here in electronic form like slots. So, they came up with this creepy computer blackjack dealer girl.

I just like the name of the back bar at Caribbean Saloon...Clown Lounge :) 
The four of us were sitting around the blackjack table in the Clown Lounge and were joined by an older bar local with a British accent. He told us many of wise things. My favorite being, "Never trust a girl that can't swim!"

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!! And I hope next year we are celebrating with new and old friends! And family!
