grateful for it all...especially the pies

11.24.2011










the food preparations started today as i'm sure it did at many of your homes.
this is it. the holidays are here...yippee! earlier today it was ella; now it's johnny.
my pumpkin pies turned out, other than the scars from peeling back the foil;
the banana cream pie might need a re-do as the pastry cream has not set quite firm enough...
oh, perfection! how i hope you never touch this kitchen.

i am truly grateful for it all: this life, this earth, the people i love and who love me,
the bad days just as much as the good days, the frustration as much as the triumphs...
and the pies. i am grateful. this life is enough.

i hope you enjoy your harvest feast tomorrow.
we'll eat to our soul's delicious content,
and make our way to the mountains the following days
to ski with friends. should be a satisfying weekend.
