Day 195 - Tuesday, January 10, 2017

I grew up in a home where the wishbone of a chicken or turkey was a sought after item.  The wishbone is dried and then held between the little fingers of two opposing "wishers". Once the wishes have been made the bone is pulled by each person. The wisher who breaks off a larger section of bone is thought to have their wish granted.  We had some house guests who had never heard of this wishbone lucky charm before.  I dried the wishbone and in the morning they tried their luck at the wishbone.  They seemed to enjoy this good luck tradition.
