A beautiful appalachian day...

Hey ya'll,

It's been a while since I last wrote anything, but so much has been going on! We had our family Thanksgiving/Christmas annual get together this past Sunday, and boy was the food good! My mom and I made yeast rolls from scratch, creamy mashed tators, baked a ham, cooked Madison county(NC) greasy beans, corn casserole, made a cranberry pecan mold, black eye pea salad, and million dollar pie! And the best part of it all, is the left overs!! And it was good to see our family also. My brother and his kids played football in the yard and my sister, sister-in-law and my mom stayed in and gabbed. I didn't take any pictures like I normally do, I just didn't think about it.



We also had our first snowfall of the season, this is not from this year, it didn't stick, but boy did it pour like crazy! Big ole' fat flakes! It was very pretty, and perfect because we were putting up the Christmas tree!

Have any of you ever seen the movie " Last of the Mohican's"? I have seen it a million times, and I watched it this morning. It is from the book that was published in 1826, and it is about the French and Indian war of 1757. The movie was filmed on location in Chimney Rock Park, which I just so happen to live 5 miles from. It is such a magical, beautiful place, if you have never been, you are really missing out!

Well, I better run, I have white-wheat bread in the oven, and vegetable soup made entirely of vegetables from our summer and winter garden, and I have to work on my mom and husbands christmas presents, I am making my mom punched tin in a frame to hang on her wall, and my mom and I are making my husband a flannel shirt!! I am very excited!! I hope you all have a blessed week!!
