Friends, Family and Pies, oh my…….

We are at the Highway Pizza joint in State College Pennsylvania with our good friends Steve and Linda. We have been meeting here for years and call it our “regular place.” Our connection goes way back to high school. I think we have been friends since Norm and I started dating way back in 1970. The four of us were even kicked out a few years ago! Steve and Linda and their two daughters spent the night in our bathroom with the four of us in Miami during hurricane Andrew. Four adults, four kids, a dog and two cats rode out the storm in our average sized bathroom. Always a good time with these two. Norm and her Mum-Mum in Centre Hall. She is 91 and as feisty as can be.
Ryan, Ken, Lorri and Leigha. My brother and his family here in Pennsylvania. Ryan is an all around athlete, Ken took over our Dad’s construction business and made it grow and prosper, Lorri works at the school and takes the summers off, and Leigha just scored a job with the Pennsylvania department of corrections, and graduates high school next year.
This is Renee playing’ Guitar Hero ( I think she is one). We are related somehow, but I’m not quite sure how.
This pie was one of two our Aunt Elsie made us. She makes the best pies in the world!
