  • A bit of Pie

    The Art of Pie

    I some how came across this book by Kate McDermott. My favorite dessert in the world is pie crust. Yep, I have to have some filling with it, but really its the crust that I’m after. I have a friend learning to make pies and I’m a wee bit jealous.

    When I spotted this I did the Kindle book sample, which i do for most things I want to read. Kate teaches pie making, a LOT of pie making. And in her book she weaves a bit of life into her pies.

    This got me to thinking.. maybe I can learn to MAKE amazing pies.

    BUY the BOOK, it’s pretty fabulous!

    It’s been somewhat of a normal week…. which I’m thankful for.

    This is our new car, a KIA Sedona.

  • Procrastination is not a word I use much

    I usually just do things. I don’t mull them over too much, I just do them. 

    But sometimes a task is more time consuming or …I know it will take a lot of brain power and focus. So sometimes then.. I’ll procrastinate.

    Generally if I had just DONE the task, it would take less time then the countless things I did to AVOID doing the task. Like…
