Pie in the Sky

This week was very busy at work and when 6:00 rolled in on Friday, I was very happy to rest. I came home and took a nap and then Brad and I went to Barnes and Noble. I bought a book, A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah. It is a story of a boy in Sierra Leon whose life as he knows it is gone and his story from running from the rebels and becoming a boy soldier. It is crazy! The book is violent, but a captivating read as I finished it in one day.



Yesterday, Brad and I relaxed by the pool in the morning and then went shopping. He always says he doesn't need clothes because he already has a pair of shorts, etc. I am trying to get him to believe you can have more than one pair of shorts. So yesterday we went to the outlet mall and got some amazing deals at J.Crew. He got a pair of chinos for 20 bucks, jeans for 30, and shorts for 25. And they are all super cute!

Lately, I have been baking a lot, as you can tell by my posts, and now I want to open my own pie shop. Of course if this ever happens it is a long way off, because I need to continue baking and making all sorts of pies. This past week I made a key lime pie - here it is without the meringue on yet.


and last night I made a lemon meringue pie. I am so proud of my meringue's stiff peaks! Yummy


I know many of you have tried calling me in the past week and I am going to return the calls. I apologize for not doing so yet.
