Summer is for slow! This pie looks perfect! I haven't made a pie since my first year of college, but I'm going to make this.

This place was pure magic. Many fond memories of the gleaming wood bowling lane and resetting the pins by hand.

So well written - I read, and hear, and see, and smell - oh -- and taste (I wish).

"I have one speed. Slow" My mother used to say that, too. I love how this post takes me back to the slower days of my childhood.

I love this story! Such a place out of time, people out of time, and your mom captured them so well -- in words and in art.

Knowing them makes me want to try and eat that pie even more!
