Where I lived in Northern Kentucky there were lots of people with German roots -- the area was pretty much evenly split in population between Scots-Irish Protestants like my people and German Catholics. Mostly no one paid any attention to that different heritage. But the people with German family roots always ate Saurkraut and pork on New Year's Eve.
Then you were in Campbell or Kenton County as Boone was mainly Baptist. But you're right. I'm a blend of both groups ex the Irish part.

I am going to give you guys my go to recipe. Very easy to make.

Bread: (your choice)
Peanut Butter: (your choice)
Jelly, preserve, jam: (your choice)

I really am not picky with the bread or the peanut butter but, the go to for me in the PB&J is actually Strawberry Jam or Preserve. Eat that at least twice a week.
 
Very good analysis. Rural part of eastern Campbell - not Newport. But Bracken County has a similar mix, maybe not quite as heavily German.
12 Mile/Gubser's Mill? 4 Mile/Camp Springs? Melbourne? California? Know them all well. Grandpa from 12 Mile. Parents both born in Newport since Dad's dad (German side) work at Wiedemann (What else?) even before Prohibition & Mom's dad (English/Scots side) was streetcar conductor.

That’s the general area. Family in Silver Grove, Alexandria and Melbourne. A generation before that, Brooksville and Augusta.

Just dropped a check for $150 in the mail for your cookbook. Cord, I hear, wants two.
 
Just saw where actor and Kentucky native Ned Beatty passed away. Some of his more well known roles were in the movies "Deliverance", "Superman", and "Rudy".

 
Yeah, I think we have. I know all the Sandfosses and my sister married the brother of Joey Pelle, who owns that Pelle’s bar and grill in Silver Grove.
"Pelle’s bar and grill in Silver Grove." means 2/3 of the people in Silver Grove own the bar or work there.

For those that don't know, St. Ann's Convent just south of downtown SG is where the home for the handicapped scenes in Rain Man were filmed.
 
Good morning D-League. It's currently 65° and foggy, with mostly sunny skies and a high of 88° expected later today.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

Good morning D League. Sunny and cool (so far) in the east. A beautiful day, which can’t help it if it is a Monday.

I’m out walking through a patch of woods, and for the first time in four weeks the birds are louder than the cicadas. I think those buggy buggers are on their way out.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable day.
 
Beautiful morning here in the Buckeye State. Sunny and only 60 if my weather app is correct. But will warm up quickly in that the high for today is mid to high 80s.

As bad as I hate to say it....might do a little outdoor painting today. Not a big fan of painting although everyone tells me that I'm a good painter and quick at it. Why? I worked on a paint crew for a house builder/developer family friend of ours one Summer in college. Learn all the tricks when you do it daily. But I hate it.

Y'all have a good beginning of the work week.

I guess it has been about 25 years now but when I was living on Lake Lanier in North Georgia we went white water rafting on the Chattooga River where Deliverance was filmed. We started rafting in South Carolina and ended in Georgia. The first time we rafted we had guides that were coeds from Clemson University which is nearby. They would point out certain areas of the river that were the locations certain scenes were filmed. "There is where the hand came out of the water" and over there on the bank is where "Ned Beatty got his." It was a fun trip and the girls were great.

Many years later I was at a Walmart in Elijay, Georgia and out in the parking lot was "the banjo boy " playing his banjo in the parking lot. He was a native of the area and his name is Billy Redden. I believe he may have been in a few more films but he was working at Walmart the last time I saw him.

An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie....
 
Good Monday morning

Just finished Jeremiah Chapter 9.

Well we had those wonderful and welcomed thunderstorms last night. My bedroom lit up like it was high noon with the lightning flashing. We have 50% chance of more. Our temperature at present is 78° and high today should hit 86°.

I am listening to the radio man talk about gas prices around the state. Locally we can get it in the $2.60 - $2.79 range further down South in the "Blue Counties" it is over $3.00 in most gas stations. Everything is always more expensive in those blue counties. Thanks Joe and those who voted for him.

This is a song I enjoy. Wish a lot of this country could take this to heart...
 
Wow how poignant Glen Campbell's "Not Gonna Miss You...". (first time I heard it.)

 
Good morning D, starting to get humid out there, just got in from a good 1.9mile walk.

Nothing going on today.

I started the D league cookbook this morning, I booked marked the Lasagna recipe, so if anyone asks hey do you remember posting that recipe I know where it is.

Is it ok with the D, if I start putting some more of them here? May do the Southwest Chicken or Squash Casserole again, then just put one on each day for a while. Yes or no?

I hope the D has a great day, Prayers for the D!!!!
