Mmmmmm...Pie

How do you know when you've married into a good family? This weekend while we were in Joplin for Christmas shopping and family fun, my mother-in-law gave me pie shields that keep pie crust from burning around the edges. That's the first sign. Then tonight, most honorable husband made pie; pecan pie with flaky crust just to test out the pie shields. They worked beautifully. Sorry, I've got to go sweep the pie crust crumbs off the keyboard now. Mmmmm...pie. Later folks.

Doom, despair and agony on me

Ladies, there's evil amongst us. A dark, menacing evil that is out to lead us (each and every one) astray. No matter the path you have chosen to take, this evil lies in wait. Temptations, obstacles and road blocks are all products of this evil. It's easy to generalize and be simplistic with names like "chocolate", "sweets" or "goodies". But those terms are understatements that downplay the pervasive nature of this evil. Pray for us, each and every one. Now I've gotta go wipe the powdered sugar off my face from the "puppy chow" my hubby made this afternoon. Evil.
