Weird. The video shows up, embedded, when I preview the post.

Here's the link


Sorry about that

Cyndi -- that link is not live and I tried to copy it and paste it in my URL and it did not work.

I added the link, I don't know what the problem is

It's there and embedded and working now. Perhaps I was just too quick to click and it had not fully loaded? Thanks!

We just had our 4th Thanksgiving meal here in the Arizona desert and it was the biggest and best yet.  :heart:

We fed 45 vandwellers with 32 pounds of turkey, 2 gallons of mashed potatoes, 1 gallon of gravy, 12 pounds of yams and so much other food I couldn't begin to count it all! It was also the first that we videotaped. You can read about it in my blog post here:

And see the video here:

Cody was the big star of the video with his doggy cam! You'll have to go watch the video to see that.

Thanks for posting this. It was a great dinner with wonderful friends in a beautiful setting.
That, in itself, was something to be thankful for.

This was one of the best Thanksgiving dinners I have ever attended.
Thanks everyone. And, thanks Bob for pulling us together for such a wonderful time

very nice, love the dog cam. question who owns the chevy square body truck. the one with Washington plates that James was riding in the back of. the reason I ask is I am liquidating my parts, I have many, ask them if they need anything. nice looking truck. btw James and Kendal(sp), love your vids. highdesertranger

HDR, I asked him and he said, "Naw, it's so new it doesn't need anything." I knew right then and there he was a man after your own heart!

But later on he got to thinking about it and remembered that he thought his AC pump was on the way out. He said if you had one of those he'd like it.

Thanks very much for the offer, you are a jewel!

yeah I have an A-6 AC compressor but if you were to replace a compressor you should go with a rebuilt. if you use a used compressor you are just asking for trouble. that is one sweet looking square body I hope he is around for RTR. I would like to see it in person. highdesertranger

Great video!! What fun!!

I too love the 'doggy cam'!

 

[akrvbob]

That darn dog, everywhere I go he's more popular than I am!!
Bob

 

[rvpopeye]

I hear that Bob.
When I got my Dalmatian I though she would be a chick magnet......
I was right , straight to her and I might as well have not been there !

PS another thing those video's did to me was make me homesick!
I may have been born on the Maine coast but my heart belongs in the desert
