Actually, it was the lazy woman's way out . . . one bag of Stove Top stuffing mix for chicken (enough to stuff an 8-pound bird), a half cup raisins, and one small Granny Smith apple, chopped. Just follow the recipe on the box and add the fruit just before stuffing the bird. We did get about an inch of snow about a week ago, but that's all gone now except for what's in the shade of fences and places like that. Today's supposed to be warm, and then the rest of the week cold with fog and maybe a little light snow. No, the NJ Memories list doesn't accept attachments.

Judy - are you searching a Smith in Philipsburg area - Marie G

Hi again, Look what I found. http://www.getnj.com/historicroadsides/index.shtml Try it. What do you all think? Love, Robin

Hi, It sounds good. If you don't mind please share with us the stuffing recipe. How is the weather over there? Any SNOW!!!!! The North Carolina Mts. had some a few day's ago. They are suppose to get more this week. We took the boy's plus our Collie to a sky resort and it was snowing a little . The roads were OK mostly. They had a snow machine going in one of the little towns so the kids could go sledding. We found a Bed & Breakfast near this town we are thinking of going to on our anniversary (Jan 19). It will be 18 yrs. Hope we don't get snowed in. Can not afford more than 2 days. I will make this my birthday present too. It is a couple of days later. It has a website. It is: http://www.archersinn.com/lodging.htm The picture does not do the place justice. Paul starts police school in February. I thought this would be a beautiful place to rest up before he starts. If anyone has any recipes this holiday please share. Stories of past Christmas's either where you are now and NJ. Maybe we can share photo's of past Christmas's by sending the pictures to each person separately. I guess the MEMORIES site still does not accept attachments? This is going to be a wonderful Christmas.

Any time I think of tent platforms, I think of the time my high-school Girl Scout troop went camping at Saw Mill Lake at High Point State Park. We were camped on one side of the lake, and a Boy Scout troop was camped on the other. A few of our girls went and invited the boys to come over after "lights out." The rest of us were scared that they'd accept the invitation. Well, after we'd put out our lights, a couple of us peeked out the front flap on our tent and saw lights on the other side of the lake moving toward the dam. Not too many minutes later we saw lights on our side. A few minutes after that, we heard rustling around our tent, and it came under the platform, too. We didn't dare move; we were sure that it was those darned Boy Scouts. It wasn't until the next day that we found out that the boys had been headed off by their Scoutmaster and that the rustling around and under the tent had been a bunch of masked bandits called raccoons. They'd reached into the other tent and grabbed food belonging to some of the other girls in our troop, and those girls had chased the critters over in our direction. I still love camping . . . camper, tent, or cloth on the ground. I don't care how. We have a pop-up tent trailer that we've camped in for three years now, and we love it. But I've slept on the ground in subfreezing weather recently, too. That was on a campout with our Awana girls from church. An air mattress kept me comfortable, and layered clothing and a knit hat kept me warm as toast.

We just got back to town after spending a couple of days up by Estes Park, just outside of Rocky Mt. National Park. We watched their Christmas parade Friday evening and hiked on snowshoes on Saturday (the first time I'd ever been on them!). We saw a snowshoe hare all hunkered down under a spruce tree, and I shot him three times (with a camera, not a gun!). I sure hope that the pictures come out well. That town up there has a huge population of elk, who wander up and down the streets and even into people's yards. Almost everywhere you go in Estes Park, you have to watch your step to avoid tromping in piles of big brown jellybeans. Of course, when I had my camera handy, the elk were nowhere to be seen, even though they'd been all over the place when we got there on Friday and also on Saturday.

Thanks Dot, I had already done that. I sent John Smith an e-mail but haven't received a response. What was interesting was the address, a P.O. Box in Wilsonville with a zip code located in Texas! The family had lived in Morris Plains since the early 1800's and the service was at the Presbyterian Church in Morris Plains in 1925 so I am assuming that Wilsonville is nearby. I just hoped that all you people with ties all over NJ could help (remember, I'm the Irish Catholic used to digging in Ireland). I'm just starting on my husband's paternal line and this digging in Protestant N.J. is all new to me! Judy Now searching Hill and Van der Hoof in Morris County!

Hi All, I hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. I haven't been on here in a while as we've had a lot going on here at home. Hopefully soon I will be able to contribute more. Now I need to pick people's brains. Have any of you ever heard of Wilsonville? As far as I know it is somewhere in Morris County. It isn't on any map I have. I even have a copy of an obit. stating the person died in Wilsonville in 1925. My thought is that it is probably a section of another town like Alwood or Delawanna sections of Clifton. Any ideas would be appreciated. Judy

Diesel, I was up on Jenny Jump Mtn a couple of weeks ago. Hadn't been up there in the fall in years. My brother and I went over to Johnsonburg and then he drove up over the mtn so we could enjoy the view of the colored leaves, etc. We then went on down thru Great Meadows and back. Jenny Jump was one of my favorite stories as a child. Used to love to go there to the little cabin. I had a great imagination and could just picture the Indians chasing Jenny and her jumping off the mountain. I have arrived in my sixth decade and still remain fascinated. Hope I am not repeating myself. My brother was over in the Johnsonburg Cemetery and looked down next to the grave he was at and our friend from childhood was buried there. None of us knew he had died. We didn't know of anyone else by that name in the area and the guy was more my age, so we went back to check it out. Now we would like to find out why or how he died so young. While there we checked out the rest of the cemetery and I found a few names that probably relate back into my family lines. Pat

Robin, We had the standard turkey/stuffing, w/rice and gravy, sweet potato dish, cranberry, fruit salad, scalloped corn, dirty rice, cajun type chicken stew, mirliton soup w/shrimp, cajun type macaroni and cheese, rolls, wine. Part La. type meal and part NJ. Not really well balanced this year, as far as the food groups go. Ended up being my husband, the kids and me. So we skipped the salad and a few other dishes. For dessert we had Pecan, Pumpkin or Sweet Potato pie with coffee later on. We chose favorites and not healthiest this time. It was kind of a last minute thing as to whether other people were coming or not this year. First time in years that it has been just the four of us. Scalloped corn is a dish that we always had when growing up in NJ, along with scalloped oysters. If you are interested in the scalloped corn or scalloped oyster recipes, I will post it/them. We always ate the standard sweet potato with marshmallow topping, too. My dau's version is sweet potato with crunchy top and pecans. Very rich and I could eat that for a dessert. I really shouldn't eat another meal until Christmas. I am gaining more just talking about it on the list. Pat

Lee, Stuffed and comatose yesterday. Out shopping very early with my daughter this morning. She got what she wanted at the second place and saved over a hundred dollars, so guess it was worth it. Some couple nearly upset me, they were literally knocking me off my feet. Just like the sales we see in the comedy movies. Ridiculous! Going to get a hot cup of tea, my book and put my feet up. Pat, the shopper, NOT

When I read Jim's message yesterday, I was scanning picture's of our trip's with the kid's to Stokes, and High Point Park, and putting them on CDs for all my kid's. We camped about every other week end in the summer in what I believe was the Shotwell area. We always picked a campsite with a wood platform for our tent. This was back in the late fifty's, early sixty's. I also have pictures of all of us on the top of Jenny Jump Mountain. Than in 1969 we brought three acres of wood's in the Pocono's and made it into our own campground. It has since grown over. All my children still like camping, and all seven get together each year for a camp out in New York State. This past year it was Lake George. This coming year it will be at Lake Placid. The only difference is we like camping in our motor home now. If I tried sleeping on the ground in a tent, I'm afraid I would have to call AAA to send a tow truck to get me upright again. Diesel

WHEN AUTUMN SLIPS TO WINTER When Autumn slips to winter on a cool November morn, And the frost is sparkling brightly on the shocks of golden corn, The world a lovely picture, as the darkness turns to light, The leaves fall thick and heavy in a turbulent delight. When winter comes so softly as the autumn hurries by, And we see a cloud of flurries in the once so sunny sky, With the wind a little sharper and the grass not quite so green, The outdoors brightly different in the changing autumn scene. When autumn's nearly over and the tree are all but bare, When the friendly clouds hang heavy in the cool November air, It's a melancholy feeling as we realize once more That the winter is approaching, right outside our autumn door. When autumn sighs and whispers as its stay is almost through, And a bit of old man winter sneaks into her sky of blue, It's a thrill beyond all measure as we note the changing scene When autumn slips to winter in a plesant glowing dream.
