It's Saturday Night - time for some Genealogy Fun!!!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it (come on, it's easy this week, and you'll laugh) is to:
1) Find some of your favorite sayings, aphorisms, jokes, etc. They can be genealogy-related, or not.
2) Translate them into Latin using Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=wT).
3) Share them with us in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook status line or Google Plus Stream post (impress your non-genealogy friends with your Latin skills!).
4) Of course, you could translate the Latin you read back (on my blog, or the blogs of others) into English (or your native language) using Google Translate too to see who was really funny, or mean, or romantic If you want to be really fancy, you could translate your sayings into any other language that uses Google Translate and really confuse all of us.
And so, thanks Randy [from GeneaMusings ] for another great SNGF challenge!
There's a couple old sayings I can think of, that some of my family will recall.
Let's start with translated into Latin:
1] Gustat ita bonum tuum lingua tunde frontem inepta probatio ad plus!
2] Cum sues volant!
3] Bene butyrum mea INCURRO et me a BUCCELLATUM!
In German:
1] Es schmeckt so gut eure Zunge wird deine Stirn schlagen dumm zu versuchen, mehr zu erhalten!
2] When pigs fly!
3] Nun Butter meinen Hintern und rufen Sie mich einen Keks!
In French:
1] Il a si bon goût de vos langues se gifler votre stupide front essayer d'obtenir plus!
2] Lorsque les cochons volent!
3] Eh bien mes fesses beurre et appelez-moi un biscuit!
In Spanish:
1] Su sabor es tan bueno que vuestras lenguas se bofetada a su tonta la frente tratando de obtener más!
2] Cuando los cerdos vuelen!
3] Bueno, la mantequilla mi culo y me llaman una galleta!
And lastly, in English:
1] It tastes so good your tongue will slap your forehead silly trying to get more!
2] When pigs fly!
3] Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!
Okay, this was just way too much fun to be having all alone on a Saturday night! Ha ha.
Thanks Randy for a great challenge! Looking forward to next week's!

Family Recipe Friday - Grandma's Dandelion Greens
I well remember when I was a young girl, heading out into the front yard with Grandma Bean, and gathering dandelion greens for wilted dandelion green salad!
Grandma would tear the leaves just above the roots, because we "might be able to get a second helping later on!" Then she'd drop the young plants into a colander and we'd take them into the kitchen and under cold running water, she would wash and clean the plants. She'd tear any remaining roots off the plants, as well as remove any heavy or thick stems.
Next, she would fry up some bacon. [About a quarter pound of it.] This she'd place in a cast iron skillet and fry until completely crispy. Then she'd drain it on a tea-towel. Once cooled, she would crumble this into small bits.
Next she'd boil an egg, and then use the water after boiling the egg to blanche the dandelin greens. Which she'd plunge into cold water afterward.
Now the dandelion greens went in a porcelain bowl. The bacon bits placed on top. The boiled egg, chopped and crumbled with it.
In the skillet with the bacon grease now went a few tablespoons of cider vinegar. Once this was heated thoroughly, the whole amount would be poured over the greens and tossed.
Salt and pepper were added. And our dandelion greens were ready for eating.
Oh, how I loved to eat this with my Grandma! She would tell me, "This is good remedy for your blood! Better than a tonic!"
Now, in my trailer park front yard, I see the dandelions coming in. And all I can think of is Grandma, and sharing the greens with her.
Today, I buy dandelion greens in the produce section of my local market. They are considered "Organic Salad Produce", and cost a fortune! Still, every now and then, I simply have to purchase a bag!
And I wonder, what Grandma would think of me spending "good, hard earned money" to buy something I could get for free, in my own front yard.

Treasure Chest Thursday - Grandma's Topaz Ear Bobs
My Grandma Bean did not have pierced ears. "If God wanted us to have holes in our ears, he'd of made them", she used to say.
But Grandma always wore clip on, or screw on "ear bobs" when she dressed up. [Grandma was born in a whole different century from us, and many of her colloquialisms were different than ours.] Earrings were always "ear bobs" to her.
Grandma had several pairs, but one pair in particular meant something to me. They were a lovely pair of clip on earrings, with an amber colored stone set in them. I was born in November, and topaz is my birthstone. So, I often played with these as a child during dress up, but only right there in front of Grandma, as she didn't want me to lose them. And I was always careful, because I wanted to play with them another time, and I made sure to treat them with respect, so Grandma would let me wear them another day!
Grandma came to live with us when I was only 5. Shortly after I turned 15, Grandma passed away. Mother packed away her things. Years later, when I was grown and married, with children of my own, Mother brought out Grandma's little box of jewelry. And these are what I chose for my own keepsake from it.......

...Grandma's earbobs.
I don't wear them, as they are clip on, and my ears are pierced, and the clip on simply aggravate me. I know I could easily convert them. But I haven't had the heart to change them from the way Grandma wore them.
Still, I bring them out, and sometimes slip them on in front of the dressing mirror, and remember a time when I would put them on and my Grandma would say, "You are the prettiest girl in all of the land!", making mefeel just like a princess.
How I miss Grandma today!
