Gary Sr. McGee. A Compound Life
In The Beginning… (Isn’t that how the Bible starts?) As you now know having read the Preface; …you DID read the Preface and Acknowledgements, didn’t you? ….“The Compound” is a very unique place! It has been a long held belief among our friends and colleagues that I have it pretty good at home---- and have had for years and years. The story goes something like this..... Every day after work I return to a beautiful home that is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, not a thing out of place. The yard is perfectly manicured, and a wonderful seven course gourmet meal has been prepared and is ready to eat the moment I get home. When I arrive at the door I am greeted by my beautiful wife, Jill, who is wearing a black teddy. She has a cold beverage in one hand, my slippers and the newspaper in the other, asking "How was your day, dear?" Well, this story is not entirely true. There was one occasion that she forgot my slippers! Whether you believe this story or not, life at The Compound is always an adventure. There is always work to do, there’s always a lot going on, it’s always fun around here, and there is always something good cooking in the kitchen. Jill is really a fantastic cook. She creates most things from scratch. She creates the best meals every day. I never quite know what to expect for dinner, but I do know it will always be good. She can come up with a great dinner menu and have something to eat with whatever she has in the refrigerator or freezer

Thanksgiving Day at The Compound. Thanksgiving, the Harvest Festival, one of our favorite holidays, has finally arrived. The day starts off as usual…with a cup of fresh hot coffee, and the morning news. Jill gets the turkey in the oven and the final countdown to the big meal is underway. All of the side dishes are ready to cook or reheat, and I am always ready to stir. The morning continues with the parade. Yes, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a must see, along with Bloody Mary treat treats. as we continue with preparations for the big day. The whole gang is set to arrive around 2pm, and then the Food Fest will begin. Here is a look at the Menu for this year’s Wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner. I certainly hope no one goes away hungry. We wish L, A, G1, & G2 were here. Maybe next year!
