The family of Ruth Mattox (center in pink) of Beaumont have a laugh over dessert after a Thanksgiving meal at the Gulf Coast RV Resort in Beaumont. The family had Thanksgiving dinner at the trailer because the Beaumont home of Ruth Mattox, the family matriarch, has mold and was seriously damaged and by Hurricane Rita.
