Merry Christmas from Tifton, GA

A Merry Victorian Christmas from Tifton, GA. This is the heart of the farm country. Peter Pan Peanut Butter is just up the road. Cotton bales are in the fields or waiting at the gin. We spent Saturday at the Agrirama, which is an agricultural living museum. On the grounds they have many tools used in the 1850 years. On this special event local volunteers were dressed in period dress, working at various jobs.

We watched the cane being ground to make a sugar syrup to cook into taffy candy. The typesetter has been working at that press for 65 years. Miss Eunice and her fluffy dog entered the dog look alike contest. She was a piece of work. Had been a teacher for years, and was still sharp as a tack.

Count your blessing that you have a microwave, not a wood stove. The ladies did a fine job with the biscuits and taffy. It was a fun day, and we’re happy to share it.

Happy Holidays.
