Yes, I Baked A Cherry Pie

 

 

Looks delicious, doesn't it?

 

And, even though I say so myself, it was delicious.

 

I have a cherry story for you today.

My husband loves cherries.

Cherry cobblers.  Cherry pies.  Cherry ice cream.  Cherry turnovers.

Jars of maraschino cherries.  Chocolate-covered cherries.

You name it, he loves it.

Me, not so much.

 

You know we have been married 44+ years,

and I have made a few cherry cobblers and cherry turnovers.

Few being the optimal word.  Very few to be perfectly clear.

 

And, I believe this cherry "thing" is genetic.

My husband's father liked them,

and our son likes them.

 

What is a girl to do when it is time to bake a pie?

I baked my grandson's favorite, pecan pie, for Thanksgiving.

I baked my mother's favorite, pumpkin pie, for Christmas.

And, I even baked my favorite, sour cream raisin pie, for Christmas.

 

So...I announced I would bake my husband's favorite pie next.

I just knew he was going to say he wanted sweet potato pie.

All these years I have been thinking his favorite pie was sweet potato.

 

But, no.  I was wrong.  He and our son both said cherry pie

was their favorite.

 

We just celebrated our son's thirty-ninth birthday.

(Someone please tell me how thirty-nine years have passed.)

And, I bet you can guess what I made for his birthday dessert.

 

You guessed it.

Cherry Pie

 

 

♥My two guys loved it.♥

I promise to bake more cherry pies.

The Genealogy Bug

 

 

Essie Maude Edwards

 

Meet my paternal grandmother.  I would guess this photo was made in her late teens.  Wasn't she pretty?

 

I credit my grandmother with germinating my genealogy bug.  When I was eight years old she gifted me a pretty white leather bound Bible with a zipper cover.  And, of course, it had my name stamped on the cover in beautiful gold letters.

 

I was so excited and proud, and I immediately began marking some of my favorite Bible verses - just like my grandmother did in her Bible.

 

Then I came to the fold out family tree in the center of the Bible.  First I lettered in my name, and then the names of my parents and grandparents.  There was space for my great-grandparents, and I made certain to ask so that I would enter them correctly.

 

Yes, that was when the genealogy bug got me.  I was only eight years old, and now that I am sixty-two years old I am still carrying that bug around with me.  I have been working on our family genealogy for over fifty-four years.

 

The family tree in my Bible was completed in no time at all, and I quickly learned that most people were more than happy to share their family knowledge.  My mother took me to the drug store where I purchased a spiral paper notebook and a piece of  white poster paper.  The information I learned from those now long past has proved invaluable.

 

The genealogy bug turned into a partner hobby because my husband loves it, too.  We both spend a few hours every day researching.  My son said he spent hours in archives, libraries, and even cemeteries growing up as we looked for clues.  His stories make us all laugh, but his research skills are excellent.

 

Our families have been in North Carolina since before 1700, and we currently trace our ancestors to Europe - mostly the British Isles.

 

Now you know what consumes quite a few hours in my days,

and I will be sharing more family pictures in the future.

 

Here is a photo of me at about the same age.

People used to say I favored my grandmother.

What do you think?
