Did this happen at your Thanksgiving dinner this year?

A few years ago at Thanksgiving, my family went to my sister's house for our traditional feast we had with family and friends. This was when I still lived in the south (Atlanta) and all the family members would bring a dish or two for the great meal. My aunts and mama would make many dishes and deserts and we usually had more food than everyone could eat so leftovers were always something everyone desired to take home with them.

All of us ‘kids’ were always joking around so that year knowing how gullible my sister is, I decided to play a trick. I told my sister that she needed to go to the store for something we needed and she happily left for the store.

While my sister was gone, we took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, shoved a Cornish hen inside the turkey, and inserted the stuffing back inside the turkey. We then placed the bird(S) back in the oven to finish cooking.

When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in not sure what she was hitting and pulled out the little bird.

With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Judy, you've cooked a pregnant bird!"

At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister broke down and started to cry. I know we’re bad with the practical jokes but it was all in good fun.

It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!


Yep . . . you guessed it . . .

She's Blonde!

I hope everyone had a happy holiday last week.

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a gol...

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o...

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L...
