Leavings

Silas is leaving tomorrow for his new trucking job.  I can happily say I hate to see him leave and I will miss him.  I can  feel the leavings already in my throat. I am such a boob.

Into the South

Watched the new year come in with Mama and M..  M. fired three shots at a tree to mark the occasion.  I gave Mama her first hug of 2013 then I opened the front door to let the new year in and  then opened the back door to let the old one out.  I never knew where I got that from.  Mama said it was something Daddy did?  I don't know -I really don't remember.  I also ate a tablespoon of black-eyed peas.  It was a good trip .I'm thankful for S. help with driving. D fell and hurt his back.
