My Grandad Orr & Grandma Roxie started celebrating this day about 50 yrs ago by preparing a big ground 'hog' breakfast for all their neighbors & friends every year.
My Dad & Mom continued the tradition after they got married. Ever since I can remember, people from our neighborhood and ward would come over for breakfast on ground hog's day..easily over a 100 would show.
When Chris & I had only been dating for a week, I invited him over for ground hog breakfast, 7 years ago today ... I remember it like it was yesterday! I was sooo giddy and nervous. You see, I liked him A LOT at that point. And I was pretty sure he liked me...I mean, he came and ate GROUND HOG with me!
*side note...Ground Hog is just grounded up Hog. :)
