Loading ...Not sleeping late, and not on Island time either. Been out (sniff) gathering up (cough) the ingredients for (sneeze) Grannies Cold Elixer. Got my annual change of the seasons scratchy itchy throat with watery eyes thing going. The hot coffee and Nyquil helping until I can brew up a batch of cure.
Take one possum and throw it in the slow cooker with 3-4 onions, 6-7 cloves of garlic, and a quart of North Georgia Moonshine. Let it cook down for about 8-10 hours and then throw the possum out for the dog, and drink the finest all purpose heal anything that aches ya drink known to mankind. A coffee chaser is good idea too if it includes some of the coffee grounds to give it some texture.
If only my mother had listened to the doctor when I was 8-9 years old and had let him remove those tonsils that swell up the size of lemons about this time of the year. Course, Moggy setting fire to half of North Georgia aint helping none either. Been trying to see through a haze and ignore the smell of smoke for over a week now. They had a ‘Code Red’ for air quality in Atlanta the other day which I think is appropriate due to the fact that my eyes are exactly that color . The preacher on Sunday must have thought he was preaching extra good the way I kept sniffing, and using tissue to wipe blurry red eyes. Yeah, he must have thought he found my ‘guilty spot’ and even went ten minutes past lunch time he was on such a roll. Even throwed in an extra verse of a hymn at the closing hoping I would come down front and repent of whatever sins I was burdened with. He had tried so hard I didn’t have the heart to tell him it wasn’t from the conviction of his preaching but the fire in the mountains that was vexing my soul.
The coffee will hold me until the slow cooker says its done. Thanks, Farmboy
