Well I'm not a big fan of black eyed peas but I do make them for my husband. I also make homemade soup with cornbread but chili really sounds yummy this year. Decision, decisions, someone has to make them, hmmmmmmm.
MNM ~ my neice and nephew live in Colorado and have been telling me about the awful weather they have had but did enjoy sking on Christmas Day. Glad to hear that you are home safely!
Thanks for the travel prayers for my boy. Glad I'm busy at work so I don't worry. Come on 5 o'clock.....

Connie- Ooo those black-eyed peas sound good! I knew they were for luck, so are the oysters in our family. My Papa and I used to have it every New Years eve together. Boy I have had him on my mind a lot these past few days planning the menu. Jessi doesn't care for sea food so will make chili too. She said she just cant eat those "blobby things!!" But, Brandon can have all he wants" LOL
Reds- Prayers for safe travels for your son! Let us know that he gets in safe, okay! Glad that you had him home with you.
MNM- Sorry to hear about the weather in Denver! I am surprised that you weren't held over longer, it was nasty that day!
Cathy- congratulations on the engagement! We just had marriage here for the holiday!

No Connie she is not Navy. Both of her parents were military, one Navy and the other Army. She is from WA state where he is stationed. The good thing is they want to get married in Texas.

CC, the black-eyed peas are boiled for a bit then simmered. a little chopped onion and a chicken bouillon cube. not the old Southern way but healthier. a baked sweet potato (again the healthier version), a mess of turnip greens with a little Ritzy baked chicken or a grill pork chop and a pan of cornbread...oh dahlin'!!! the black-eyed peas are for good luck in the New Year.
Reds-praying for your baby boy's safe trip home!! give him a squeeze from his Navy Aunties!!!!
MNM-back to real life...glad you had fun!
Sherrill-babysitting a 4 yr. old....Lawd Help Me!! bet you were a hoppin'!
Cathy-congrats on your son's engagement!!! i've miss several days....is the bride -to-be Navy too?

I dropped by son and his gf (fiancee as of Christmas Eve) off at the airport tonight for their flight back to WA. Twelve days sure flies by when your sailor is home. He will be deploying to Japan in a few months so it will be a while before he makes it home again. We have not had rain for months and as soon as he comes home on leave the rain starts and it rained every other day but now it is going to clear up with highs in the 60's and 70's the rest of the week.
I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and is looking forward to a prosperous New Year!
