Welcoming the New Year with Sauerkraut

A quotation from Wikipedia:

Pork and Sauerkraut is an extremely popular meal for New Year's Day in Pennsylvania, an example of the culture left from the Pennsylvania Dutch. It is thought that eating sauerkraut on this day brings good luck.

Chanda cooked some pork and sauerkraut for supper on New Year's Day and invited Mom and Dad and Fred and Marion. Fred and Marion's son, Matt, just got married on New Year's eve and so they were celebrating their first day as in-laws. What a great way to begin the New Year!

I LOVE THE Photo's for 2009.
I will download them. Geo and I also celebrated New Year's Day with Pork and Sourkraut and Mashed Potatoes. I wish we all have lots of good luck.
Your baby sister.

good groundhog day updates. I'm tired of shoveling my driveway every day. Lucky for me Ron & Judy get theirs cleaned professionally. I've had to use it about 6 times so far.
