SAMPLING PIE WITH GRANDSON SAM
This last week I traveled over to the Coast to spend a few days with my daughter and her family at a house they rented in Winchester Bay. On my way there I stopped at a bakery in Reedsport, that some friends recommended and purchased an apple pie. I thought it appropriate to sample the pie that afternoon for freshness and quality with grandson Sam. After a few bites, I asked Sam if the pie was good or should we take it back to the bakery? He said it's good and a flat "NO" to taking it back.
