Wishing For A Little More Blue Sky

Must admit we are getting a bit of cabin fever around here. We better think of something to do about that! Meanwhile we are making the most of winter. The girls are loving the powder and doing great in school. Jake, Lindsey & Molly were up for the weekend. I kid you not when I tell you it seems as if she is growing right before our eyes! She is beautiful and she has wonderful parents.

Hope you all knew that is was national pie day last Saturday. We didn't want to miss out on that wonderful celebration. Another few interesting dates you might want to know about ~ sorry to let you know we all probably missed Jan 3rd which was national sleep day, national humiliation day as well as J. R.R. Tolkien's Bday (he was born in 1892!)

TODAY ~ National Chocolate Cake Day ( I am all over that one!)
Jan 28 ~ National Kazoo Day (Yahoo for the Kazoo!)
Jan 29 ~ National Puzzle Day ( We love puzzles at our house)
Jan 31 ~ National Backwards Day (Dinner for breakfast and visa versa?)
:)
If you want to check out the fun and crazy things you can celebrate during the wonderful winter month of February, go here.

But back to pie day....I am the lucky one who years ago inherited my Grandma Julia's rolling pin and pastry cutter. I think of her every time I make a pie. Family items and recipes that are handed down are wonderful ways to connect to the past.
We celebrated with Fresh Blueberry Pie and Lemon Meringue.
They were pretty tasty.

Your pies look amazing, of course. I included in the Relief Society email announcements that it was Pie Day and a few women at church told me what pies they made and it was pretty cute.

We made apple. Groundhog day is also crepe day, if you can't find any groundhog to eat.
