Hickory nuts are a pain to crack and remove, but delicious when used in any recipe just like walnuts. I think the hickory nuts taste a bit more buttery. LATER: Or was that my butternuts I'm remembering. Either way, hickory nuts are well worth the work 'freeing' them from their shells. I like...

Me, too, with that bumper crop of both walnuts and acorns. Guess I'd better get out and check the hickory for nuts.

I am living proof that it never hurts to try. We put a bid on a property that the real estate agent said was lower than bids the owner had turned down. Our luck, the man's uncle had just passed and left him what wealth he'd had. The man took our offer, just happy to have the house sold.

I hope your day is a real winner!

:thumbsup Late, but still wanting to wish @wyoDreamer a big HOW-DEE and say welcome to the gang!

" 98, 99, 100! Here I come, ready or not! (Geese are not good at hide and seek.)"

HOW-DEE! @AdamsBrown! Glad to have you with us. What brings you to the "remodel" forum? We like helping, we like learning, and we love pictures, pictures, pictures.

:lol: :yuckyuck :lol: That explains a lot about Mom. She was a WAVE stationed in the Pacific NorthWest during WWII.

I am not from the area, but I have memories of a misspent year in your beautiful city. Never did get used to the winter drizzle, but spring was awe inspiring to someone arriving to the city after the March blizzards and cold of south-est, central-est Wisconsin. I know the City looks nothing...
