Yes, we have pecan trees here. In fact I have 3 trees in my yard. My dad planted them. They don't produce pecans any more thouigh. Oh my, I used to pick up so many it was unreal, my dad sold them and I did too, after I bought the home place. The trees got a fungus on them, and my neighbors trees did too. They produced for around 40 yrs. and they still get pecans on them, but the fungus causes the Pecans to fall off early and  don't fill out. The inside will be rotten. The fungus cames from the high humidity level we have, and trees are to big to spray and kill the fungus. At this point in my life and age, I couldn't bend over that much to pick them all up. They do make good shade trees to sit under in the summer. You can buy the nuts in our grocery stores.

At church this morning, our choir had their Christmas Contata. Beautiful music.  Also all the Christmas decoration were put up too.Very pretty with all the lights and Christmas Tree. 

Sure hope your finger will heal soon.

It's been a very dreary Sunday and yesterday too. Cloudy, and light mist rain. Today was just heavy sweater day, but our temperatures are suppose to start falling again, and back down below freezing at night. It's going to be a long winter for me, because I don't care much for Winter weather.

Hope you will have a great Christmas Holiday my friend. I'm glad your out of the deep freeze area and now in a little warmer climate.

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, Margareta. Hope your weather clears up soon and lets the sunshine peep thru:) Lots of hugs to you... -di

Hello dear Margareta,

Thanks for coming by and leaving the message for me.  I would be more than happy to give you some pecan pie, if I could. I called my grand-son this evening to ask if the pie was good and everyone liked it and he told me, yes they did. Do you have Pecan trees there? You would like pecan pie. It's really sweet. The ingredients are: small amout of butter,vanilla flavoring,eggs, sugar, and dark syrup, and chopped pecans.

Your going to have a hard time knitting a cap with a sore finger. I don't knit any more. I used to knit all the time, but I mostly just lost interest in it, after I got my 1st computer. I still want give up all my knitting needles though. I've got every size there is. Sure would be super expensive to buy now. With a mashed finger it will take a good while to get over the soreness.

Hugs Sonjia

Didn't do anything at Thanksgiving no cooking at all. I did make a pecan pie for my grandson, he's a policeman and had to work that day. So the one's working took something to work for a meal of their own. My grand called me and ask me if I would bake him the pecan pie to take, and I did it for him.

Hope you had a great day today, with your son and your grands there for your birthday.
