Pumpkin Pie in the spring.

This is our favorite pumpkin pie recipe.

And there is a story with it.

No, I do not make my own crust,
but maybe one day I will.

After getting married and buying a house,

my dear friend, Sharon from high school

moved in next door to us with her husband.

Whenever I needed an ingredient for a

recipe she usually had what I needed.

Over the years our children grew up and

played together all year round.

In the winter they sledded down the big feild

between our houses,

and in the summer they came swimming.

As her family grew she taught them

about giving.  When the first pumpkin

from their garden was ready, they made

us this amazing Pumpkin Pie.  It  disappeared

quickly and Mr. Sweet (aka my husband)

LOVED it. 

That was probably when I started

making pies.  It is the simplest recipe

and so good with fresh pumpkin.

Thanks, Sharon

your kindness will always be remembered!

She moved now and I miss her.
