Wahiawa Recreation Center

Nice Friday the 15th. and I had enough to do. (very important when you are old.) My nurse from the VA. came in before noon and she sure knows what she is doing, She got all my physical data and will help me with more.  Then I had to do some work and then get ready for the Trip to Wahaiwa. The Handi Van was right on time, and having two other passengers helped to minimize my guilty feelings of using it for my own personal use.

"We can all love November and the American tradition of Thanksgiving.

But in reality, every day should be thanksgiving."

Got there too early but I will not complain, The Handi Van gets me there and gets me back home. The early birds were Carol Mendoza, Rod and Rosalie getting things ready for the dancers. Soon enough Leland and Maile got there with their equipment and it was starting to look good. In a few minutes, more members were arriving with the goodies of food to share with our fellow dancers.

Leland quickly set up his Musical equipment and he sure knows what the people like in music. He is getting a very good reputation. He knows that his classics from way back are acknowledged as something experienced dancers will love forever. Bachata seems to have been accepted very gracefully and the floor was getting heavy with dancers, The people are all friends and it shows. New people are welcome, of course.

"There is always, always something to be thankful for." 

On Thanksgiving Day, say a prayer of thanks to the Almighty, for the bountiful gifts bestowed upon you. Many years ago, the Pilgrims of Plymouth did so. They shared their food with the natives of the land, who had helped them in times of misery. The tradition of sharing the Thanksgiving meal continues even today. In honor of that tradition, you can share your gifts with friends and family.

The feed is simply the greatest because no one know the choices. I never know what Maile will put in my take home package. But it is always my best meal of the month. There is always plenty to eat and they make good use of the delicious leftovers. Completes the happy day for many. I got ready to leave before 9:30 and the Handi Van was only a few minutes late, fine by me. Got home a little after ten and had me a nice meal and I can surely thank all the nice people at this party.
