Yeah!!!!!

Daughter graduated!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to her!!!!!

Son asked girl out and she said yes!!!!!!!!!!! Not usually a big deal, but the last girl he asked out, whom we all were sure she liked him, said no. He has not wanted that rejection again, so hopefully he'll have confidence again in that area. And of course the same friends that have been teasing him for not having a girlfriend yet are now teasing him because he has a date. Which is kind of funny since these same boys have only had internet "girlfriends".

And I go to pick up my dogs at my sister's house (we went out of town) and Bailey spent the whole time following me around her house. She sure didn't want me to forget her.

Cornbread Stuffing

I don't really care for stuffing, however, my husband loves Cornbread Stuffing. It is a requirement at Thanksgiving. Must be another recipe from my mom, very vague.

Celery (3 sticks)
Onion
6 slices white bread
5 cups (40 ounces) chicken broth
sage (rubbed)
Eggs
10 cornbread muffins

or use the recipe from the Sandy Ridge, NC cookbook, pg 132, minus the sausage.
