Eating blueberry pie; life is good.

The Life is Good company should come out with a t-shirt for it. Their character dude could have a purple ring around his mouth and an empty pie plate.

(I admit - because Grammie is probably watching - it was a store bought crust. I do make my own crust sometimes, but it has to be on day when my patience are really, really good. Definitely not the case yesterday.)

What Hope didn't tell you is that she spent a very hot couple of hours in the berry patch picking the berries for the pie. No wonder she didn't have patience for making crust. The pie was EXCELLENT!!!! She left me a piece for my breakfast which I ate a 4:45 a.m. Was awake and couldn't get back to sleep for thinking of blueberrie pie:>)
HOPE MAKES VERY GOOD BLUEBERRY PIE!

WISH I COULD EAT YOUR PIE!

I also have a confession - I never make my own pie crust. The pre-made crust tastes just as good to me (at least compared to my home-made crust).
