Thanksgiving Day at Mescalero 2011































Well, we had our annual Thanksgiving dinner at the branch the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We had 60 people attend. They had to stand in line to get their food and there was lots of it. We had eight non memnbers there. It was great! We were so crowded that we had to have people eat in the foyer. I wish all these people would come to church!!! It was a traditional pot luck dinner and the branch furnished the turkey. Dad and I spent the whole afternoon at our apartment cooking mashed poatoes because we only had one large pan to cook with. It was crazy. The night before at 6:00 p.m. Lula called and said President Fossum had gone deer hunting and she didn't have a check to buy the turkeys! Yikes! Of course we came through and met her at the store and purchased the turkeys. Of course, we will be reimbursed, but the whole thing could have been a disaster. When we asked him at the dinner, he said he forgot. Oh Well! It was a wonderful time and we got to see almost everyone that is active in the branch.
