Big Boy watches over his friend 2024-01-02 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold. Veronica writes, "Big Boy Bob stands guard and watches over his little friend so she can lay down and take a nap in the sunshine. Hard not to look and go, 'Aww! so cute!'

Happy New Year 2024" Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Travel: The road to Snowbird 2024-01-02 - Snowbird, UT - Photo by George Kolbenschlag . This year has set a snowfall record at Snowbird Ski Resort with 838 inches (that's 70 feet) of the white stuff. The photos don't show that too well as there were also some major snow melts in 2023 during the winters, so there was no time when all 70 feet of snow was on the ground.

Traditional New Years day meal for good luck 2024-01-01 - Harrodsburg, KY - Photo by Renea Watwon. Traditional meal for the New Year reaches back hundreds of years, but many do not practice the old ways in this new day. We do continue the traditions of our ancestors, but with a few modifications. Our family brought in each January 1st with black eye peas, cabbage, fried jowl meat, and cornbread. That has not changed in 2024. There are a few slight changes: jowl bacon is served alongside country ham, the cabbage isn't fried but fried with onion and red pepper flakes in bacon drippings. Ed always reminded me to take the photo first. I usually forget. But Mrs. Watson preserved this image before the noon-time meal. Leftovers in a few hours. Happy 2024 to you all!!
