Thanksgiving Day Plans 2017
Call us 'creatures of habit'...we like to think of it as 'creatures of a good/delicious thing'.
Thanksgiving Day Dinner will be a treat again this Thursday for the same 6 of us like 2016.
Here is the Menu for where we are going and only 20 minutes away;
Here is a refresher where we'll be...The Francisco Grande Resort.
A little History;
"The Francisco Grande dates back to 1959 when San Francisco Giants owner Horace Stoneham developed the property as a spring training camp for his popular Major League Baseball team. Then Arizona Governor Paul Fannin attended the dedication before the first exhibition game in 1961, as did National League president Warren Giles, to an overflowing crowd. Optimism swirled like desert dust devils when Willie Mays hit a 375-foot home run off Gaylord Perry in the forth inning of the first ever game at Francisco Grande. "Francisco" was taken from the San "Francisco" Giants and "Grande" was taken from Casa "Grande"; thus the name "Francisco Grande."
While Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Juan Marichal were honing their Hall of Fame skills, the Resort became an exclusive and intimate desert hideaway for Hollywood elites. Legends such as John Wayne, Dale Robertson, Pat Boone, and Gale Gordon made the Francisco Grande their home away from home."
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Night pics of the 'Beaver' moon
Few more from just inside our RV park entrance.
Went to dinner at a newer Mexican restaurant in Casa Grande last night and on the way back saw the moon just rising on the horizon....huge yellow/brown and gorgeous. But no pics as we were going about 70 down I-10.

Beaver Moon in Eloy, AZ
According to folklore, the Full Moon in November is named after beavers who become active while preparing for the winter.
It is also known as Frosty Moon, and along with the December Full Moon some called it Oak Moon.
Traditionally, if the Beaver Moon is the last Full Moon before the winter solstice, it is also called the Mourning Moon.
