Happy New Year

What a great idea, to have a new year every 12 months, just when you are tired of the same old year, it's time to bring in a new one.I was lucky to bring in the new year with both my grandkids and family not to mention a mother-in-law to cook turnip and collard greens,hog jowl,peas,and all the side dishes, plus her pecan pie, most of it home grown.I grew up with the best southern cooks, ladies that grew their gardens,canned and cooked everything from scratch.It's a lot of work, and I deeply respect and appreciate all these country women I have known.Most of them gone know, but I will never forget them.And I know how blessed I have been to live in this small farming community.
