Evening Woods. Tired old hillbilly here checking in.


I don't remember eating anything special for New Years growing up and I never cared for black eyed peas anywho

 

My day was OK, got a lot of stuff done.

The black eyed pea story is thus:
During the war of Northern aggression, Union troops pillaged the land, leaving behind only black-eyed peas and greens as animal fodder. Rich in nutrients, these were the humble foods that enabled Southerners to survive. Details of stories differ, but each celebrates a communion of family and friends bound by grateful hearts and renewed hope for good things yet to come. We also eat cornbread to signify gold and collard greens for folding money.

 

Supposed to bring good luck for the new year Tim

 

Good history lesson! Nothing special planned here.

Glad to be home. Think I put about 3 solid hours of work in. Everybody wanted to shoot the breeze. Boss man bought a new Dodge diesel lariat. 66k! Has everything. Redwood harvest must have been good.

 

Thanks ... BUT ... Not what I was hoping for. :>(

 

Re-Evenin Woods. Had to take a few to feed the young'uns and see the beginning of the Michigan-FSU game. My Noles started strong, then fumbled the punt return?!?!

 

Been busy taking care of my mom. Dementia taking over and going down hill fast. Been trying to keep her happy or getting xmas. By the time I got her happy, I was 200 + pages back. I just today, got caught up.

 

Hey Dan ... Been there and done that. Wishing you patience and good luck.

 

Love or bread. Make and eat it all year long. Collard greens not bad either. Anybody to the 7 fishes? I dont.

 

Thanks. I seem to be seeing my alchohol content is going way up....
