The day after.......

Here's the view from my kitchen window. The day after the Walton Thanksgiving celebration the dishtowels and tablecloths were hanging on the line.

It was great to see everybody again and be able to host them in my "new" house. There was lots of turkey, ham, sweet potato casserole, fruit salad, and pies galore! We played a "family" game that I put together and I hope everybody enjoyed it as much as I did.

The next picture is a closer one of the tree. My fabulous nieces and great nieces and nephew made some bird feeders out of pine cones and hung them up so now every time I look outside I think of them and the fun they had.

So thanks to everybody who brought food and helped put it all together. Now we'll do it all again at Christmas!

They're Everywhere!

And there's more than this!! There's apple, pumpkin, cherry, and pecan. And tomorrow there will be coconut and chocolate cream. Seventeen pies in all. I'm selling them. Some of Kaylee's coworkers at the bank ordered a few and some of my coworkers also ordered. I've always harbored the dream to someday open a pie shop so I thought I'd just jump right in to test the waters. It feels pretty good! And I'm getting this crust thing down pat! Deliveries will be made after lunch tomorrow. I've even got pie boxes so I feel pretty professional. Well, hey, I had to direct some of this empty nest energy somewhere, right? Watch out Mrs. Edwards!
