I've always wanted strawberry pie but have never had it. It looks sooo tasty! I came over to your blog after I'd seen through Blogger Stats that you'd been to mine. Of course I was hooked as soon as I saw the dogs. Then when I saw the one cooking breakfast in the kitchen...that sealed it. I had to become a follower. Love the images and paintings.

One time when I
was taking summer
classes at college,
my mom and I bought
a pie just like this
one and sat on the
floor of my sorority
bedroom with two
forks and ate the
WHOLE thing!!! I love
that memory....This
looks delish : )
No, we didn't make it
to Seattle, this trip,
but fun to think that
we might have twins in
the area!!! I wonder if
the twins were tall, as
we both are! Today is
my last day here and tomorrow
it's home to the Midwest.
Although I realize all
good things must end, this
is the hardest part of
the trip, for me.
Hope you are enjoying
the weekend, Violet!

I am so blessed to know that we ALL will be in eternity to run with the angels and who know what else!!!!!!! Glitter maybe down the streets of gold? Eye has not seen........
