It is yummy but the problem is I want to eat too much and I need to lose some lbs because half my clothes don't fit..I hate not being able to eat everything I want!!! My husband can eat anything and stay skinny..I hate him.

Hi Brd - I make great homemade pies and rhubarb pie is one of my favorites. I usually mix it with strawberries but I like it plain also. However, homemade pie is one of my greatest downfalls..I just can't stop eating it..therefore I don't make it as often as I used to. We did just have strawberry shortcake with the leftover strawberries that I saved from making the freezer jam. It was good and I am full now!

My mother was also a great pie maker but she died of lung cancer before I was interested to learn. I sort of taught myself by trial and error over the years. The secret is in the crust. I am amazed at how many people have not idea how to make a homemade pie. It is almost a lost art.

Good for you Shira. My daughters are all great singers and it gives me great enjoyment to hear them sing. Regretfully they do not do it often enough anymore. Oh and I should not forget my sons...one sings with a band and the other used to do a lot of musical theater but not much anymore.

I sing a few Sundays a month, it has been the greatest experience. I did not perform for about 15 years. My voice has also matured. I do not have the sky range that I had as a kid. I wish that my kids would sing in public, they have great voices, but are too shy. Addict, I kill my mother with a nice Ave Maria!

The cruise last night was a lot of fun. We had beautiful weather, the drag show was actually very, very fun, and I was with a great group of people. I did drink a bit too much, which didn't really help me get over this cold...
The parade today was fun. It really is a lot of fun actually being in the parade. Was extremely tired afterwards though - still blaming this cold - so napped and just went to dinner. I think I'll take it easy tonight and try to kick this cold once and for all.

Just popping in to say hello to all (WB included).
Did a bit of house hunting today - it seems that the SoCal market is softening - which means I will get less for my condo, but can perhaps buy a little more house.
It was a beautiful day here today in SoCal.
Shira, let me know about the 4th - you have an open invitation to a wee bit of Americana right in the middle of LA.
Well, get in touch with me before and i will give you directions.
It will be about 100-150 people eating hotdogs line dancing, playing ping pong, leaching after fireman, and in general, doing the whole block party thing.
And then, the fireworks are just across the street. It is a fun night.
Sounds WAY better than what my mother suggested. "Lets go over to "insert-family-friends I've known since birth"'s house, and we'll have a BBQ before "family friend's daughter" gets married.
Yes, WAY better. Plus, I don't have to wear a skirt!
