EARLY THANKSGIVING 2025
Our son, Bill, Jr. visited with us from 11-17-2025 until 11-24-2025 and we had
an early Thanksgiving. My bride aka Joyce was in the Atrium Hospital
Monroe, NC during his visit, whereas he visited with her about every day, as I
did.
We had more or less a Reader's Digest version of our regular Thanksgiving dinner
and there was still plenty of food. I made potato salad and deviled eggs
on Friday November 21st and deep fried a 22 pound turkey on the 22nd along with
baking our traditional cornbread dressing. I also did a giblet gravy.
Lisa our youngest daughter made a sweet potato soufflé and Laura our
oldest daughter did a green been casserole. Travis Lee Huneycutt is a
Vegan and Lisa made him a Vegan apple pie. Laura also made a Vegan pasta
salad. I baked a Mrs. Smith apple pie for dessert and we had regular
dinner rolls, of which I believe I was the only one that had one, grin if you
must! I also make cranberry chutney a few days earlier.
Those attending were Bill aka Mickey Porter, yours truly, Lisa, Xander and Lily
Gonzales, Laura Porter, Travis and Trevor Huneycutt and a special guest and
friend Linda
Driggers from Cheraw, SC. Linda wanted to bring a pie and promised she
would not bake it. There is a story behind that since when she was baking
things to start, it was something else to partake of, but has since come a long
way with her baking skills!

My plate and going to put the camera down for some serious "groceries". I
didn't take a pix of the cornbread dressing, but you can see it covered and
smothered with the giblet gravy in the above pix.
I also forgot to take a pix of our oldest daughter Laura Porter and will archive
a pix from the past and insert it.
In closing, everyone had a great time, enjoyed the food and as I like to
say at every opportunity,
"Two of the Greatest Ships that ever Sailed, Friendship and Fellowship" and
family and friends make life worthwhile.
