Yesterday was a pretty unproductive day. I chased a few to many rabbit trails and didn’t get some copies I was waiting for and it was just plain hard to read and write. But, today was much better! I looked at the various early church celebrations of the Lord’s Supper…quite a bit of geographical variety in the first few centuries.
The pic above is a yuca (sp?) plant. Every time Krista sees one in Nebraska, she tells me about how the pioneers used to sew buttons back on with material from the plant. The story never gets old 
I wonder what they used the pods for?
I think it’s with two c’s. Also, my sister tells me that fathers used to plant these plants under their daughters’ windows in order to deter herself and others from exiting or entering her room via the window.
Yucca is the spelling I always knew as well, but I think yuca is an alternative spelling. And if my retelling of this tidbit of info “never gets old,” can you tell me WHICH PART of the plant was used for sewing?!
I’m not completely sure, and don’t quote me… But, I believe while the women sewed the men smoked the pods.
