My Momma brought an apple pie to Thanksgiving dinner. She also brought along Mr. Pesky and a pumpkin pie (not nearly as good as the apple) and her world famous slaw.
She got the apple pie recipe online and tried it because she said it was easy. Never much of a cook when Scott and I lived at home, she’s a late bloomer when it comes to cooking. 🙂

Now you know: Christmas lights used to be so expensive that they were rented rather than sold. An electrically lit tree was a status symbol in the early 1900’s.
