The Tuesday before Thankgiving, Dwayne and Aimee Dokes held an open house sort of Thanksgiving meal for their neighbors. God provided a huge smoked turkey that was donated by a local shop, a ham was given by someone else, and gals from the church brought sides. Aimee made her wonderful cornbread stuffing, Monica made the best greens ever and there were at least 6 pies. The food barely fit on the table! Aimee said they had about 36 people that ate dinner there that night. It was great to meet a lot of people that live across the street in the large apartment complex. Amazingly, there were leftovers for turkey sandwiches the next day. What a great idea, and we were blessed to be a part of it. We are thinking...maybe we need to do a thanksgiving meal in June!
