Saturday afternoon, I had Lily over to practice our pie making skills. Our plan for the afternoon was to make three pies – a cherry pie for Lily, a pumpkin pie for the Hills (friends of my Grandma Buecher), and a peach pie for Josh and me. We successfully completed our mission with time for two games of Othello and a couple games of Uno before Josh arrived home with our pizza dinner.
After dinner, we drove to visit the Hills. Mrs. Hill took a nasty fall last Friday and broke her shoulder, but she 
was in good spirits and we enjoyed our visit with them. From the Hills we drove to Lily’s grandparents (the Kahlers) to drop Lily off. Mrs. Kalher has an amazing rock collection, and she took time to show us a “few” of her rocks and fossils, and Mr. Kahler made us some very rich hot chocolate.
Sunday evening (while writing this post), the fire alarms in our apartment building went off . Apparently, there was a grease fire in one of the first floor apartments – exciting times.
The pies look great Amy. It’s strange seeing everyone in shorts during the fire alarm. We’re having one of our coldest winters in a long time. Seeing temperatures in the 20’s…no snow though. ;-( Enjoy the warm weather. Glad you’re safe.
They look so good! I need to make some pies too. We are having a pie night at church after prayer meeting this Wed. I better decided what kind to make!
I should have put you to work in the kitchen this past summer when you and Josh were staying here. I’ll know next time what a fabulous cook I have in my midst. Enjoyed catching up with y’all via your blog. Thanks for taking the time to do this. You have so much to be thankful for – in addition to so many recently answered prayers – as do we! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!
Woo-hoo! you did it! they look great 😉
I wish I had known about those culinary skills when you were living with me! 😉
The pies looked and smelled really great when they came out of the oven. I still haven’t eaten mine yet because I;m saving it for Thanksgiving.
Amy and Josh, thank you so very much for making a “house call” to Dick and Alma Mae Hill! You remember that they visited me when I was in Greenville and you gave them a tour of the Music Library! They are very dear friends and I cetainly appreciate your kindess to them. They said the pie was EXCELLENT and they sure enjoyed your visit!!! THANKS!!! Grandma B
