Thanksgiving Fun

  I had so much fun last thanksgiving with my best friend Tessie. Me and my two daughters went to her house in the afternoon. She cooked the traditional turkey and stuffing. She also cooked sweet ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole and many more. I ate so much that I had a stomach ache. After eating we sang karaoke. I met Tessie while I was serving in the Navy. Ever since we became friends, deployments were never boring. I always have fun when I am with her. During deployments we don't only hang out together but we also got each other backs. She worked in the kitchen, which meant I never had to fall in line for food in the galley. I worked in disbursing which meant that she never had issues or problems with her pay and personnel records. During liberty call we would go bar hopping, dancing, shopping and sightseeing. Whatever that is needed to be done on deployments or homeport we would do together and it was so much fun. We don't do those things anymore. We do more family oriented stuff. When we go out, we are with our kids all the time. But it still is so much fun. This Thanksgiving was not different. Although alcohol was taken out of the equation, we still enjoy each other's company. The only dull moment I have with her is when I am sad and I need a friend to talk to. Even then she makes me laugh. Me and my kids look forward to spending this holidays with her family.
