Living, Loving, Learning

Years ago I had an amazing chicken pot pie recipe, which was a good thing because that is a favorite comfort food of Bruce's.  Unfortunately, I took the recipe on vacation with me to make it for some friends and lost it (Chanley, I think I left it in the kitchen of that lake house!!).  I have been trying to find it or something similar for a long time.  Just last week I made another attempt, and while it looked wonderful, it tasted just o.k.  So, I thought, I should ask you....do you have a pot pie recipe that you love??

I decided to make one HUGE Halloween post rather than many small ones...BEWARE, lots of pictures!!!  Our first chance to wear costumes was for the library's annual trick or treat parade.  Here is Lucy the lion with Myles the monkey, Ava the alligator, Lily the ladybug and Carly as Rapunzel.  They had a great time walking around the mall with all the shop keepers passing out candy.  A newspaper reporter was there taking pictures and the kids were all in the paper the next day.  Another perk of small town living! Lucy had to check her bag after every treat!  I love that she is using the bag that my Grandmother made for me when I was a wee one.  This is a huge reason why I craft/quilt.  Lucy is experiencing  the love of her great-Grandmother that she's hardly gotten the chance to get to know.  Love the lasting legacy! Our second celebration was the Halloween party at Lucy's school.  I am the room Mama and had a fun time helping...
