Best Of

It's mimosa Sunday. Since I'm in quarantine mode I'm going to have to drink the entire bottle by myself. For my health I have added fresh squeezed juice.

Still poor; musta not of growd up.😉

Great story. When you said his name was Jim, I knew he was a good guy.

and received his doctorate. I just wish my dad was their, he told my mom right before he died he hoped he lived long enough to see his kids graduate. He died 2 weeks after I graduated high school. He would have been so proud to see his grandson get his PHD as he only went to the 5th grade himself and always admired/respected folks with education. I never felt the urge and went in the marines out of school, but I would rather nowadays see my son teaching college math……..

My friend Jim stopped to see me over Thanksgiving from Alabama. He stayed for five days, and we got to spend some quality time together reminiscing. Before he left, I gave him half a case of 40s and half a case of 22lr, that he loves to shoot. He left on a Friday and called me Saturday. He told me to look under the guest bedroom bed, that he left me a Christmas gift. I was going to unwrap it on Christmas morning but……. LOL. I opened it last night. It is a Colt Python, made in 1974 and was his fathers. He left me a card that said, my father would have wanted you to have this. I cried for about two hours last night. I will cherish this revolver forever. It is so pristine, I'm afraid to shoot it, but I know I will. We talked through tears this morning. I'm absolutely floored by my friends love for me. My friend is a rifle and semi auto gun nut, but never like revolvers. His father would take us to the dump in town when we were kids, to shoot rats with our 22 rifles. One of the best gifts I ever received because it is so special to me. Oak

I moved from cookie cutter house in Florida to NorthEast PA and our family calls it “The Cabin House”.

The cold weather brings a lot of maintenance and upkeep, but I love this place.

The baking goodies thread inspired me to bake some homemade cornbread to go with the ham and beans I'm having tonight. Going to be eating good while I watch football tonight.

First game of the CFP series. Who you got? Indiana or Notre Dame? I don't have a dog in the fight so I'm just watching for the entertainment value. Hoping it's a good, close game unlike the Florida / Tulane game that just wrapped up.

Grew up farming ,hats went on we left the house . They came off when we came inside to eat and at night when we came home . Always off if visiting someone inside their house.
