I have been without an oven for four weeks. I bought a stove and for various reasons, it wasn't delivered until last night. I made apple pie this morning for breakfast. I cannot be deprived of pie, it is my favorite thing to eat and I can eat it at any hour. It tasted so good. My first piece of pie since we left Laura's house. I am going to make a pecan pie tomorrow. In the meantime, I am worshiping the stove.

I will make a meat loaf tonight. We were getting so tired of whatever a skillet and a crock pot could conjure up. The oven is a bit hard to get used to but it's little computer is becoming more obedient. There is pizza in our future as well as tighter clothing.

It is truly amazing how grateful we can be for what we always took for granted.

Happy Friday one and all.
