No, not will.i.am and Fergie, but honest to goodness southern black eyed peas, simmered in chicken broth. And this cornbread. And sausage. On a 'never done THIS before on a New Years Day' whim, my handsome husband and I loaded up the car and drove 2 1/2 hours to the 'Ville. Shared our vittles with a recently surgeried Seminary student and her daddy. Later in the evening, we took said dad (AKA our cousin) and went to BW3 for wings and the second half of the Rose Bowl. Did you see it? Horned. Frogs. Win. After the game and a bowl of this, handsome husband took the wheel and got us home just minutes before the clock rolled over to the second day of the year.
And speaking of the second day of the year, here is a quick shout out to a very special little lady who is celebrating her very first birthday today. Love you!
Today found us at church where God spoke through Pastor Pat on Ecclesiastes 3:1-13. Powerful words this morning and I, for one, am looking forward to making the changes I need to make, living in the moment and recognizing what time it is.
"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
