Christmas 2008 comes to an end in Ellijay

It goes by all too quickly and then the house is quiet again. We had a great time with the family this Christmas. We had Christmas eve at our house, then to Melany's new place for Christmas dinner. She has a beautiful home.  Bethany and Robb left for Tuscaloosa this morning. Friday, a bunch of us headed to Amicalola Falls to hike the trail. It was a great way to burn off some holiday pounds. 
I have begun the southern ritual of cooking collard greens and black eyed peas to welcome prosperity for the New Year. The collards greens have ham and fat back to give them flavor, the peas are soaking overnight to soften them up for cooking tomorrow.  



We made enough to share, so if you all are hungry come on down. We'll set a plate for you. Happy New Year.  We wish you a prosperous new year and good health.
