January 1st 2012

We had a leisure day at home and prepared a southern meal of black-eyed peas, baked macaroni and cheese, collard greens and cornbread. It is a traditional Tennessee meal since childhood that my Dad always stayed up until midnight and ate black-eyes peas to eat the old year out and the new year in for prosperity. Then we had ham and black-eyed peas on New Year's Day with all the trimmings, usually turnip greens and cornbread.

I called my son in Florida to wish him a Happy New Year and wish him the best for work prospects, health and happiness.
