BONUS GREY CROCHET PATTERNS:
http://www.redheart.com/files/patterns/pdf/LW2903.pdf -
Kim Guzman's Grey Splendor Vest - "The
sparkle in this crocheted vest lends it to being worn for the office
with a tailored blouse or for evening with a lower cut knit top. The
longer silhouette is flattering to all body
types." - Actually, as much as I like it, I
happen to know this would look hideous on me at the moment!

Grey Crocheted Pineapples Pattern Cotton Long Skirt - "The
crochet lace is in grey in this stylish, contemporary long skirt. The
crocheted lace has a quality inner cotton matching lining. The fringed
bottom style makes this an exciting and new addition to the so
in-fashion long skirts..." - This isn't a
pattern at all, but a ready-made skirt retailing for $39.95, but it was
just too fabulous not to share with y'all!

BONUS - STONEWALL JACKSON INN'S (HARRISONBURG, VA) RECIPES:
http://www.stonewalljacksoninn.com/recipes/roasted-hash/ -
Stonewall Jackson’s Roasted Hash -
“I generally use this as a side dish to
Eggs
Benedict – Stonewall Style. They go together like Batman & Robin,
complementing each other with contrasting seasoning, flavors, and
heartiness. The hash should be made the night before, cover tightly and
refrigerate overnight.”- Dr. Wayne Engel, Innkeeper http://www.stonewalljacksoninn.com/recipes/eggs-benedict/ - Wayne’s Eggs Benedict ~ Stonewall Style - “This is our most requested Signature “Breakfast to Remember” and my personal favorite. The version here is easy to make, yet elegant and healthy. I serve it with a side of our unique Stonewall Roasted Hash.”- Dr. Wayne Engel, Innkeeper |
FINALLY:
From
www.ajokeaday.com - 01/20/14:
A couple was dressed
and ready to go out for the evening. They phoned for a cab, turned on a
night light, covered their pet parakeet, and put the cat out in the back
yard. |

Dixie
[From the
Richmond Dispatch, March 19, 1893.]
Dan Emmett its Author and New York the Place of Its Production.
I wish I was in the land of
cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
In Dixie land where I was born in, early on a frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
Chorus:
Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Old Missus marry Will de Weaber, Will-yum was a gay deceaber,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
But when he put his arm around her,
smiled as fierce as a forty pounder.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land. (Chorus)
Dars buckwheat cakes an' ingen batter, makes you fat or a little fatter,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
Den hoe it down and scratch your grabble to Dixie's land
I'm bound to travel,
Look away, look away, look away Dixie land. (Chorus)
