Christmas Dinner

WOW............I can't come up with enough words to describe the superb job Marion Nelson, Robin Perry, and the whole kitchen staff did to make our Christmas dinner so delicious and successful.  

Think about what it takes to make an event like that so successful for over 200 people.  (I'm trying to get an exact ticket count).

  • Plan a menu
  • How much food to order (those advance ticket sales are so important!)
  • Meat, potatoes, carrots, buns, lettuce, cheesecake, shrimp, lemons,..........and all the fixings like butter, sour cream, horseradish sauce, shrimp sauce, salad dressing, etc.

Details:  How are we going to serve it.  What kinds of containers are available.  How do we package it per meal to speed up service.  

How to distribute the meals and make sure we keep legal safe distancing and not make people stand in line.  

Well done staff!!!  Thank you!!




Enter the front door with mask
Get your temperature taken
Present ticket and get a number
Be seated safe distance from others that are waiting
Your number will be called and packaged dinners brought to you
Well organized under all the Covid rules!

Tickets said 2:00.  Don and I arrived about 2:15.  We were there less than 15 minutes and left with hot meals in hand.  Amazing!



I've been told that folks at the corporate level read my blog so I hope our staff will be recognized for their great accomplishments under a Covid black cloud.

We managed to celebrate the holiday with a few friends via Messenger.  The special effects created by the app added to our entertainment.



The "boys" just curled up together to nap through our noise.


They were worn out from playing with their new Christmas cat trees.  Love watching their gymnastics.


Plenty of new scratching posts to help save our furniture!

I sent an album to our housewatch customers to highlight what we've done for the past few months.  It shows us repairing irrigation lines, covering toilets with press and seal, checking thermostats, monitoring storm damage, etc.  Plus....there are lots of cat pictures.   The photos received raving reviews so will post them here as well.
