Southern Reflections
Just thinking back on this past week. Been a really busy one, as usual. Mama was here until Tuesday morning. Remember the wonderful pie? On Friday, I was trying to decide how to fill the extra pie shell that mama made and left me. I ended up filling it with lemon meringue. Just like mama.…
