Hi Everyone,
Pumpkin Pie, I bet a lot of you will be baking one of these this week:) Pumpkin pie is not my favorite pie, but it certainly does conjure up memories of Thanksgivings past and Christmas for that matter. I had never made a pie until I got married. Pies are a huge deal in the Waller family. A Waller Thanksgiving has been known to have just about every pie you can think of. My mother-in-law is the Queen of making pie crust and I am happy to say she has taught me. This was, I believe part of my marriage proposal, will you marry me and will you learn to make pie:)
The photo reference for this painting is from a pie that my Mother-in-law and her sister made for our early Thanksgiving celebration. My hubby left for Afghanistan about a week ago so we had an early Holiday this year. And of course pumpkin pie present for this celebration, in fact there were 2 pumpkin pies.
So when Crystal Cook and I decided to start a monthly challenge and she proposed Thankfulness as our first challenge inspiration I had a lot of things go through my mind. I settled on pumpkin pie. I'm thankful to have married into a family that taught me the importance of a from scratch crust and pie. I'm thankful that I became a Waller and I'm thankful for my husband, who loves his pumpkin pie:)

So Have a fabulous Turkey Day everyone! What are you thankful for this year?
