Due to my knife fight in a bar parking lot, I haven’t been crafting so much, but I still managed to rock our family’s 4th of July party. My parents have a great house in Wallingford with a killer view of the Lake Union fireworks, so we usually throw a giant bbq and make a bunch of pie. This is our 8th? 10th? year and we always have a grand time.
My mom is the pie maven – I help (I cut all the shortening into the flour for the crusts, and mixed up the fillings) but Mom makes a way better pie crust than I do, and she does the lion’s share of the work. My dad helps too - this year he learned how to roll out pie crusts! He is cute.
I parked myself on the back porch and made people grill me steak and bring me beer and pie, and draw on my cast. It seemed to work out pretty well for me.
I’m slowly listing all the baby quilts I’ve been finishing during my unemployment at www.dbcquilts.com – you should probably check ‘em out and pass it on. Mama needs a Wii.
