I had no idea what "tiggers" were either but figured they were some crazy southern bug I hadn't heard of. I have heard of chiggers though, but haven't encountered them - only some ticks last month when we were in the mountains. Well, now I know how to get rid of them and now I have an excuse to travel with nail polish!!! hahaha. We will have to try the cream cheese trick in the cobbler. Sounds yummy. I will prod Oak to post some of his canning recipes. So far the best things he has made are beets and okra. We made strawberry preserves last year but still have some left over - we don't eat enough toast and pb&j's to get through it all! Do you have any good canning recipes to pass on? Good luck with getting ready to start the school year --- mom says it's a madhouse there! Carrie Hi Sabrina,

By the way she is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. She always puts a smile on my face. Anyway I wanted to let you know about the "tiggers". First of all there not "tiggers". These little critters are called chiggers or some people call them jiggers. In the south almost anyone will know what you are talking about unless you call them "tiggers". Ha! Ha! Ha! Our conversation started when your mom was telling me and Lesley (another co-worker)about the recipe you got while picking black berries, and I told your mom that the next time you make a cobbler try cutting some cream cheese up in small chunks and sprinkle over the top of your berrries or your peaches. Then our conversation went on to the women you saw picking berries with the socks on. I told Carolyn that most people when they pick black berries will put turpinetine or kerosene on their socks or tie a piece of cloth around their wrists to keep from getting chiggers. Chiggers live on black berries, and are found in pine thickets in the woods. If you ask my son he could give you a detailed description of the little bugers. This sounds really strange but if you get chiggers you paint the top of your skin where the chigger is with fingernail polish and this will usually kill them. Tyler looked like he had the chicken pox not chiggers (all I had at the time was a dark pink nail polish). I love your website. I will keep checking it for more recipes. I also hear you have started canning. My husband and I can everything we can. Try making black berry preserves. Freezer preserves are the best and easiest especially strawberry. Your moms friend, Sabrina Hey Carrie,

I was shocked to hear about "tiggers" I think is what they are called and the reasoning behind those women wearing their socks only to pick berries! Hopefully my resource, one of my co-workers, will post a comment telling you about it all. I just about freaked out. I think that this berry farm is much more modernized and probably there is a lot less chance of getting those "bugs in your skin" ewwwwwwww, but she sure had an interesting story about them that I asked her to pass on you you. We will see. lol This was such a fun time. I was shocked to hear about “tiggers” I think is what they are called and the reasoning behind those women wearing their socks only to pick berries!

We tried both recipes and the recipe above from the random lady was the superior cobbler. Carrie forgot to mention that we grabbed a recipe from Blackberry farm also.

I would love if you guys could swing coming for a long weekend on either end of the week.(Or anytime that works for you!) We have an extra bedroom and would love to see you. We are there from Aug.23rd to the 30th. http://www.surforsound.com/properties/property/367 Heidi Hey Carrie,

I really loved the fact that in your post you had a family vibe that families need to spend lots of time with one another. Unfortunately in five weeks I won't be seeing much of my family as I move up to Chapel Hill. It's also great to see Carrie all your travels. You've been to some amazing places!!

By the way..I recall those fun times in warsaw too so I am sure I must have been there!! lol I am not sure what would be the best way to intersect the old and the new. Both girls ideas are very good. I did like the suggestion of adding experiences you remember now that didn't get logged the first time around is an awesome addition. Maybe your father and I will get a few additional comments along the line so that your future family will realize you didn't do this all alone..lol..just kidding. Gods eyes rock. I think we need to do this as a random craft sometime, don't you?? hehe I also agree kahlua sounds good and I am not at work but I also have people pounding on my roof,dogs freaking out and none in the house. sigh Well, I was thoroughly amused at this posting and I was proud to think that I had possibly started you way back when into something that you actually enjoyed.
