Blog-worthy

When my mother made her way up the hill to our house this afternoon, she announced cheerfully, "I have a peach pie in the oven. Would you like me to bring it for dinner?" Would I?! No question about it, since Mother's peach pie is one of my all-time favorite pies and, despite the six bushels of peaches that we've canned/frozen/eaten fresh so far this summer, neither Mother nor I had made a pie so I was more than ready to eat one!

Before supper, Dad asked if a picture of the pie was blog-worthy. I had not thought of taking a picture of it since I was preoccupied with simply eating it; but I quickly decided that it was a splendid idea, provided the pie-maker was in the picture, too. Here she is, and here it is...
It's really too bad that blogs aren't equipped with scratch-and-sniff technology--or even better, reach-out-your-fork-and-have-a-bite technology. I'm actually sorry for all of you who weren't here to have a piece of pie with us tonight! ;)

Speaking of bites of yummy food... Jeff bought these fun rising-sun (or setting-sun, depending on how you view things) plates at our favorite store (that would be Gift & Thrift) for 50 cents each last week, and I had a great time today arranging lunch for Josiah and David on them. Why simply eat when you can enjoy? Why just set food in front of children when you can turn it into a celebration? I'm always glad to find new ways to make lunch fun!
On the menu today: cherry tomatoes from the garden, shredded cheese, ravioli, mini pretzel sandwiches, a big pile of freshly-diced peaches, and one cookie with a letter on it. I put the "S" on David's plate because, as I told him, "you're SUPER!" Josiah quickly guessed my thought about the "F" on his plate: he's FANTASTIC!
