Thankful for many things, but mostly for “APPLE PIE”!

I’m off to go bake an apple pie. It’s an annual thing which started back when I learned how to do it back in Nova Scotia in the 70s. We had our own orchard of beautiful Cortlands and we would pick them, peel them, cut them up and bake pie all in an afternoon. The horses enjoyed the peels and cores, and the house smelled of apples and cinnamon.

When my daughter was 2, she summed it all up. Take a look at this:

One of the first floorcloths  I ever painted was “The Making of an Apple Pie”. I think I made it in 1995.I’ve since lost track of it. Might be time to do it again!

A friend sent me a beautiful quote:
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Happy Thanksgiving

    Cute video! Hard to believe Lauren is about to graduate! I guess the apple pie runs in the family because your brother is baking one tonight too! These apples are from Groton.
    Happy Thanksgiving to you everyone around your table!
    Love,
    Bob, Susie, Erin, Asa, Steffi and Juneau

    I think Lauren still has the same happy, yummy, apple pie smile.
    Enjoy Thanksgiving!

    I just wanted to share that your book changed my life. Many people ask me how to make floor cloths and I just recommend your book. They are grateful and so am I.
