Let's Bake a Pie


This painting brings back memories. Mom baked some delicious pies in this pie pan. The big can of Libby's pumpkin filled two of these pans to the rim. I can almost smell them baking. The old wooden rolling pin has been spinning for years. My son, Gregg, fashioned the tin flour scoop in Shop class many years ago. It resides in my flour canister today.

Ummm Ummm. Makes me hungry for pumpkin pie and lonesome for my dear grandmother, Memmie. Love the richness of this one!
