It went in the wood stove, complete with wishes in form of little paers all folded up, it was beautiful, but I saved some sprigs of needle point ivy ~~ too pretty to loose completely, now I wonder if maybe the wishes won't all come true cuz I saved some Ivy out...

Jbear made me a yule wish log: A slab of cedar, and hot glued on swirls of cedar bough and ivy and different greens, and ivy, then had awesome glitter, and a gass red jewel in the center...we wrote wishes on sraps of paper and tucked in within the boughs that were glued on the cedar slab. All went in to fire, and wishes go in the heavens, awesome !

T-Hi delivered it to me yesterday, and we had a great visit. I gave T the duck hat my Mom made her, and we had so many giggles that DH was hiding in his fort, most of the time, but finally could stand it no longer and came to join us women...

And I gotta tell ya T looks so adorable with a duck hat on !!!!!!!!!!

I only wish I had known and would have a gift for Jbear, what a nice surprise !
But I am known for sponteneous surprise, so watch out Jen, something good is coming your way !!

Terrie !! Recipe for corn pudding !!! Pla-leeze !!

Just use some of the rooted Ivy for a yule log for someone next year, kinda like an Amish Friendship Cake, and so then, I am sure all your wishes will come true. Sure of it.

My grandma was from Missouri and she brought the tradition of collards with her. It was totally for prosperity. But I'm thinking back in the day, early days in Seattle like in the 30s she wasn't able to get collards in the markets in January. So, she converted it to cabbage. I am thinking this must be how it went anyway. So, now, Grandma's family, all of us cousins have to eat the cabbage before the end of January 1st. I have a little piece of cabbage in the fridge that I will take a nibble off of.
I must say tho that I am tempted to pass on this notion for this year. So far, I have been broke for too many years now.
Maybe if I just say no this year and see if things will change for the better.
OR, it could get so much worse.
Not experimenting this year. I will nibble cabbage tonight.

never hurts right? enjoy your cabbage!
Happy New Year!

Thank you. I did. Mom didn't eat hers. She gonn be po' ... mmm mmmm... not good

What part of Mo was she from ?
Mine was from West Plains, they had a Farm and then sold out in the depression and moved to town. Or maybe lost the farm.
The other grandma had her farm out there way after.
My kin are Renfrows, Rideouts, in Mo....and the Davis' (GrandPa)were from North Idaho, that is the Oneys, and McKims.

I'm going to have to look in the family Bible. I always forget the town. I think maybe Fredericksburg. They were Hahn. He was German Jew and she was Scotch Irish. Hard life back in those days. Grandma was frequently stealing the farm horse and running away to town. Did NOT like farm life. She took off with my Grandpa and they crossed the US very early in her life... 16 I guess. Grandpa (never met him and he sure wasn't a grandpa when he died), was a logger in some areas, Idaho I think. And here in WA for some time. Then he went to work in the coal mines in Carbonado and died at about 30+ of Black Lung. Then, Grandma moved to Seattle and finally got to live her good life in the city. Eventually marrying a Norwegian halibut fisherman and being happy all the days of her life.
Miss them this time of year so much.
Grandma, I ate my cabbage

Heres the Chicken chicks - 5 out of 6 so far

Coturnix - 45 out of 65 so far

Buttons - 9 of 21 so far (new breeding pairs testing fertility so might be low

)
The little terriers that torment the newly hatched coturnix.

Reminded me of this from 2004 .... when my little 2 yo found scissors and some permanent markers just days before going to California to visit with several of my cousins who were visiting from Holland.
