Pumpkin Pie and Remembering Grandma


My husband has been hinting several days that it's time for pumpkin pie.  I have to agree with him.  As I am writing this, the smell is so wonderful I can't wait to get a big slice and a big dollop of whipping cream.  I guess that means an extra several laps around the pool this evening.  :(

I never make a pumpkin pie that I don't think of my dear sweet grandma.  I make my pumpkin pie just the way she did.  I can still see her little chubby hands holding a knife and slicing three slices of butter to put on the top of her pie.  I always put butter on the tops of my pumpkin pies for no other reason than in rememberance of her.  I loved watching her cook and she was a wonderful cook.  I loved spending weekends with her because she would play with me and she always made me something wonderful to eat.

I made an extra pie for our vet.  He has helped us so much with our animals.....just a little thank you gift.  Well, the timer is calling me and I must go.  :)

Have a wonderful weekend!
