Cooking up some luck

For New Years, we have always put a dime in the black-eyed peas for good luck. I'm not sure where the tradition started, but it continues with us to this day. I'm not sure how much luck it actually brings us, as the ever-present "Beall luck" seems to be much more powerful.

Joey and Lori, always a happy couple!
Uncle Chuck and Aunt Jane were passing through so we exchanged belated Christmas gifts.
Moma Flo got a bird!
A push from Nanny and the kids are happy.
