Porter Reunion

The weekend of Kristin's wedding, I also attended a family reunion. My late great-grandmother, Mimi, was a Porter. The descendents of her and her siblings gather each June. We meet at Salemburg Baptist Church (Sampson County). Some of the folks from our side attended for the first time in a while. Some of them live out-of-state and we see them infrequently. It was nice to see people under happy circumstances. My great-uncle from Florida flew up. His children surprised him with a plane ticket for Father's Day. My cousin, Debbie and her husband, Richard, drove out from New Mexico. Debbie's father was my late great-uncle. She promised him that she would come this year. My parents and siblings were able to attend. From our side: Daddy, Mama, Brittany, Christian, Matt, Brooke (and 2 kids), Janice, Great-Uncle Pee-Wee, Anthony, Carol, Taylor, Carol, Kelly, Eric, Emily, Memaw, Papaw, Doug, Ann, Lola, Vicki, Ashli, Phyllis and I represented Mimi's branch of the family. Our dear family friend, Robbie Ann, was also there. Enjoy a few pictures from the event. The first is with great-uncle Pee-Wee. He looks just like my great-grandmother. The second one is with my cousin, Ashli. We're hoping to meet up when I'm in Wilmington this month. After the reunion, some of us, had an extra reunion at Doug and Ann's house. Another family member and her sister's boyfriend were there. It was a big crowd all day and it was nice to see everyone.
