Pie. Did you know March 14th is National Pie Day? I love pie.
My favorites are fruit pies.

But I learned how to make pecan pie when I was 15 because that's my dad's favorite pie.

Then I went to Marie Calendar's. And I discovered something about myself.

I am hopeless when it comes to picking my favorite kind of pie. The pic above is called Million Dollar Pie. Since I've never heard of that one, I am kinda giddy about trying to make it this weekend--ya know, for National Pie Day...because I am a Patriot and I like to show my support for this great country in ways my family can appreciate...and there is never a bad reason to make a Pie.

Anyone have a great pie recipe they wanna share? Saturday is the Day. Buy or make a pie for your self or your family!

(Makes 2 Pies)
2 Graham cracker pie crusts2 Small cans crushed pineapple, drained1 Can sweetened condensed milk1 1/3 Cups flaked coconut1 Cup chopped pecans, toasted2 9-ounce containers of non-dairy whipped topping2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Mix all ingredients until well blended. Divide between the two crusts. Refrigerate until firm. Decorate with whipped cream and Maraschino cherries.

P.S. The kids are fighting like cats and dogs. Like Mike Tyson and Evander. Like Tweety Bird and Sylvester. Like Wylie Coyote and Roadrunner. Like Paula and Simon. Like 2 kids who've been locked up in the same room for too many days. "She's annoying me!" "He's a jerk!" "Get out of my room!" "Stop talking to me!"

Ahhhh....I feel better about the whole thing now. The sounds of wellness have reappeared. There is hope. That means I only had to check on them twice--out of habit I suppose, to make sure they're okay. And they were. So I slept, like 8 hours. Eight! Not 1 hour and 45 minutes like Monday night. Not the 4 hours night before last. Eight FULL wonderful hours. YES!... Sweet Freedom.

I need to send a "shout-Out" to my blogger friend for suggesting "shower steamers"!

The kids really liked them. Me too. And to everyone else who cheered us on...we're nearing the Finish line. Thank you!
