Well, I don't think we will be having huckleberry pie.
My mom was the pie maker. I never learned how to make flakey crust. But Becky perfected the art and every Thanksgiving since my mom died, she makes the pies.
When she read my blog about the $90.00 gallon of huckleberries, she put her foot down. "No. I won't take a chance on making a crust for that expensive a pie. I'm not going to make a ninety dollar huckleberry pie and take a chance on messing up the crust. So you can forget it. What were you and Pat thinking!!"
I guess that is that. No huckleberry pie.
Becky drove me to Pryor yesterday. I went by the house there and could have just wept. All my beautiful gardening efforts have gone to weeds.
Weeds are like sin. You have to get a hold on it early and uproot them or they take over your life. I will have to hire someone to go clean up the flower beds.
One interesting thing, and that is: You can't go back. Life is a river. Always flowing in one direction. Once done, that part of your life is done. I won't be moving back to Pryor. I live in Edmond now. And it's good. I am really happy here. It comes as a shock. I thought it would be harder than this to readjust. But no. It's been really easy. Praise God. He has been so good to me.
