Today Margaret and I had our Thanksgiving meal. I took her on a date. She is the love of my life and deserves to be spoiled much more often. We went to the DuPont Country Club outside of Wilmington, DE.
Main entrance to the club
Once inside the doors, we were met by a uniformed man who asked our names and escorted us to the dinning room.
About half of the tables were empty for our seating time. I made our reservations only a few days ago and the only seating available was an early one. That worked for us as we’re not much on being out late anyway.
The first course was a scrumptious pumpkin soup followed by salads.
Margaret’s entree was rack of lamb.
No way was I going to have turkey! I had a Filet Mignon and mashed potatoes.
Desert was two different small chocolate parfait, one white and one dark chocolate, plus a small wedge of pastry covered with fresh berries for each of us. It was a delicious meal and awesome service by the Club staff.
An ice sculpture located at the dinning room entrance.
Margaret wanted a picture of each of us while we were all dressed up. Doesn’t she look great?
And then there is this ugly guy! This jacket is actually too big for me now. I have another 90 pounds to lose.
I don’t think I was using wisdom when I scheduled my November weigh-in at the doctor’s. It is tomorrow morning! Oops. After the meal last Saturday and the one today I may only break even on weight loss this month.
In His name,
Chaplain Sam Houchins
