Joy oh Joy. Two nice days in a row. We decided to hang around the RV park today to help set up for the Christmas party. It was good that we did. We were the only people that showed up to help. We set up tables and chairs, put out table clothes, and did some other setup stuff. Then we helped set up the dishes, primarily desserts.
After the setup we took the dog to the nature area at the back of the park. This is one of the usual places we take her to run her. She's been cooped up so much that any running is great from her point of view. We had her do a much of retrieves. That seemed to take the edge off.
The food at the dinner was really good this year. The park supplied turkey and ham. The residents supplied everything else. There was a wide variety of dishes. Two types of stuffing, three types of fruit salads, corn, beans, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, and potato salad to name a few. Of course there were pies, cakes, cookies, candies and brownies for dessert. There was even an edible gingerbread house and something called "death by chocolate".
As usual, there was way too much food. We had 5 pies leftover after every had eaten their fill. We stayed to do the cleanup. At least there were more people, 6 or 8, to help. There was an advantage to that. We ended up taking home some potato salad and a pumpkin pie.
Apparently there's another invitation only potluck on Christmas day. We got invited, so this year we'll have two big Christmas dinners.
