Family Traditions

I have been asked to speak on family traditions and would love for you to leave a comment about some of your favorite fun and spiritual family traditions. 

Little Mack Rocks with Brad Paisley

Little Macks friend surprised her with tickets to go and see Brad Paisley tonight.  They are so excited and other than getting lost on the way down they are set and ready for the performance at 7:30 pm. 

onions, onions, onions

Why would I post a picture of onions?  In September there is a distinct aroma that fills the autumn air.  Our city at one time hosted many onion fields and after the onions had been harvested we would often go and gather up the leftovers.  Grandma C and Grandma O loved the onions that we would bring to them each fall.  We gathered so many onions that many pantries were filled for the winter.  Slowly and sadly the farmers began to sell their property and the onions fields have diminished.  Fred has planted onions in the past but they never were the quality that we had enjoyed from the farmers fields around us.  This year is different.  I was at the nursery and had overheard a customer asking for the onion sets that the farmers use.  He said they would be ready in a few days and to come and ask for them  then.  Well being the good wife I passed on the information to the gardener in the family.  We were able to purchase some of those onions sets and wow....we have had the most wonderful, large, sweet onions growing!!  I picked one that measured about 6-7 inches in diameter.  We have had onion rings, used them in our cooking, salsa, fried etc.  They are so yummy!!   So there you have it..onions.  Only now the aroma is from our yard and kitchen.
