​
​AN APPLE PIE, A BIRTHDAY PIE, AND MUCH BIRTHDAY EXCITEMENT

Picture
...Continued from yesterday:
      Early the following morning, Monday, October 18, I said good-bye to Romaine,
Picture
​...and to Sherwood, Oregon,
Picture
​...and I flew down the coast to Los Angeles,
Picture
...to visit my daughter, son-in-law, and grand daughters.
Picture
     One of my grand daughters had asked me what time my plane would be arriving in Los Angeles. I told her that it was scheduled to arrive at 12:05. This made her happy as that was her lunch time, and so she would be eating lunch and I would be landing at the same time.
      Upon my arrival my grand daughters had several requests: That we make an apple pie; that we make a birthday cake for their mom, whose birthday was in two days; that we go shopping for a birthday present; and that I make their favorite dish, my oven-fried chicken, which they call Chicken on the Bone.
      The following day Tom arrived  and was enthusiastically greeted by Pinky Poo,
Picture
...and Yajou.
Picture
       When the girls arrived home from school we got to work making the apple pie.
Picture
...into the crust of which I wrote their names and they drew palm trees for me, because I love palm trees.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
       The following day, my daughter's birthday, flowers, balloons, and bags began arriving at the door until by afternoon the living room table was full.
Picture
     When a box arrived from a bakery shop we decided to take a peek,
Picture
...and saw that it contained a beautiful fruit pie with an edible "tag" made of white chocolate.
Picture
      We figured that we didn't need to make a birthday cake since we had a birthday pie, but rather went straight to Target so the girls could buy their mom her birthday present.  They had it in mind to buy her some workout clothes,
Picture
...and decided on a pair of blue and white sweats and a pumpkin candle,
Picture
...which their mom loved.
Picture
Picture
     When my daughter arrived home from work she was quite astounded by all the gifts and quipped that she hadn't taken in such a birthday haul since she was a little kid.
        That night for dinner I made Chicken on the Bone with mashed potatoes,
Picture
...with, of course, the yummy birthday pie for dessert.
Picture
Picture
      After dinner the family snuggled up to get the homework done, 
Picture
...a nice, cozy  way to spend any night, really.
