I got involved this morning so never came to play until now! But, I do have TWO pumpkin pies in the oven, one plain and one pumpkin-cheese. Jody always laughed that we have sweet pumpkin pie here, she only had savory. Thinking of you right now - you might even be in surgery. I'm sending positive and healing thoughts to you and my foot is too to yours. Take care, my friend.... xo Oxford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heehee, can't say I've ever heard of this, Jan and NJ is pretty small area-wise! I looked it up and it's way down South where NJ actually has a West Coast on the Delaware River! It's in a marshy area and I see it has some wonderful birding and wildlife trails. Thanks for the education! We actually have some wild Turkeys walking around here and it's an urban area! Come to think of it, I haven't seen any lately, but those turkeys look too mean to eat! Well, since we're in NJ at the moment I can't resist saying my hometown West Orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few blocks of houses where I live is called the "Old English" part of town, with streets named: Westminster, Nottingham, Buckingham, Manchester, etc etc! Of course we DID come from you! New Jersey is one of the original 13 colonies so there are lots of areas where the civil war with England was fought. And, a lot of "George Washington slept here's" around - especially in Morris County. Gilette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
