My Big Fat Greek Thanksgiving

My Big Fat Greek Thanksgiving!
Dennis and I spent Thanksgiving in New Port Richey, Florida with
Dennis' uncle Bobby and his wife Anna and her GREEK family!!

This was their pool up and running in NOVEMBER!
Temps yesterday ran anywhere from 68-70 degress getting much chillier as the evening approached

Richard & Judy (Dennis' folks)


The Four of Us

And the three of them...

This is Bobby & Anna's neighborhood
This is Anna.
I didn't get any pictures of her family directly because I felt weird asking people I didn't know to smile for the Maggi Two blog... but in this pic below you can see Dennis, Darin (cousin) and then Mario (Helena's husband; Anna's cousin in law) and Athena (Mario's daughter)
In this pic they were playing: "trade with your neighbor"
Our churched sheltered spirits called it that... but our loud New Yorkian Greek friends had another term..... and Dennis had a small number to play with and he wouldn't go under that number.. his winnings kept him in the game for awhile..

At first I was really incomfortable. You could have thrown me in the middle of the United States, walked me down the street, make me knock on a random door and then kick me in and say: "Happy Thanksgiving"
We didn't know anyone! (except for Bobby & Anna and their two boys)
It got better as the day progressed.
The food was amazing... not all of it typical T-Day food...
but it was still delicious!
Anna and her family did an awesome job cooking.
We have one last full day here in The Villages, and then we will be traveling home
tomorrow morning!
Dennis has expressed some interests for the day:
Shuffleboard.. :(( and The driving range to hit golf balls....
whatever....
BY THE WAY!!!!
Adam & Kathleen had a baby girl!!
They are not for certain what they are naming her yet,
but when they get a good look at her they will decide!!! :) So excited for them..
Congrats Adam & Kathleen!
They sent a pic and she is adorable!
