For four years we have tried to come up with a motto for Rainbowrv. I think it must include fellowship because that is a common theme result and warmth found at every event. Thanksgiving at Chula Vista Marina was another fellowship full event.
Tim and I intended to get to the RV park on Thursday to spend some time unwinding from our landscape work before we set up for guests but the rain dampened Tim's motivation to uncover the bus and set out on wet highways. Fridays rain left him with no choice but to contend with the waterspots. We arrived at the park in just 90 minutes as the traffic was light and the park is less than 80 miles from our house. Most every one made it to the park but the down pours in Arizona and Palm Springs Kept John & TJ and Matt & Doug from making the trek. For a list of who went click here.
The RV park sets up a holiday dinner for Saturday which in the past included stuffing and potatoes with the Turkey but things changed and we learned that only Turkey is provided. Not to worry because everyone we spoke with offered to help make the two treats. Our prep started with several trips to the local markets for ingredients, then Sandy and Dee offered their four slide coach up as a production kitchen where Mandy, Sandy and I whipped up the two dishes. I am not much of a cook but under the guidance of the two I think I proved to be of some help. I must admit the cooking was quite a bit of fun and just as rewarding when our dinner came and everyone gobbled up the two dishes.
The RV Park supplied and set up the tents because the main clubhouse would not seat the entire park. I so wish we were able to break bread together and am not quite sure there isn't a bit of politics at play. I am sure not all the Indians and pilgrims ate together either. Their Loss, no SandyMandy stuffing for the hetro's.
Fun Fun Fun. Since the Saturday dinner was at 2:30 we had time to relax and once again gather around the sites. Chuck and Jon hat their open bar set up and hosted another late nite cocktail party and camp fire. I think I drank an entire quart of orange juice from the bar.
Tim and I are backed up with Landscape work but decided to stay Sunday Night since the weather was so good and we lost Thursday with all the rain. Mandy lives close to the Marina and drove back to guide a group of us to her home on Coronado Island then to a local restaurant for more great food. There were 10 of us that tagged along and once again broke bread together
