A few years ago, my Mon used my oven to cook our family’s turkey because I live so close to her and her oven was being used to make the pies. My Mom makes the BEST apple and pumpkin pies!
Although they are a staple in our family’s holiday dinners, I cannot make them. With my diminishing abilities, it just is impossible. About a month ago, Sean asked me what we were going to do for Thanksgiving while he sat on our front porch and we talked through the door. I looked at him and said, “I don’t know about you, but I’m all set!“. We both laughed. I suggested it might be like a drive-through or something.
With the virus NOT letting up, At least it’s a drive-through to get my Mom’s pies! My Mom has five children, my four older brothers and me. She also is the guardianship over my two nephews. She has been making pies all day long!
I feel terrible that I cannot physically help her make them but I have been able to enjoy the smell of my Mom’s pies for this entire day! I have lived in my house for 11 1/2 years and I never thought it would smell like it does today! My brothers and I are celebrating Thanksgiving with our individual families but we all will have her pies!
I am reminded of my childhood with the each pie she makes that I smell! I am not sure how much pie I will eat, and if at all, but the smell has been divine!
