pie is fabulous

I am guest blogger number four - the one doing dishes before. it is late and I'm listening to chaka khan. Nina is covered in flour, I think she is on to new fashion trend so ya'll better watch out. this is the only time i have every willingly done dishes and seperated the recycables. Only for Nina would I not even bat an eyelash or complain. She has graham cracker pie crusts on professional racks waiting to be filled and the living room is filled with the sweet smell of pecans. oh and what was great some friends came over at 1 am to help label boxes. the only time it's ok to box something is pie. yes i think i made a really bad joke, but i'm ok with that.

I actually had a non-funny moment when i realized why I would come over late at night after a long days work and evening meeting and come help Nina with meeting her goal. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer over a year ago and it was one of the most painful things to watch my mom fight for her life. I was lucky that my mom had good health insurance and was able to take the time to heal. My mom has a clean bill of health at the moment. So, without realizing it, I wanted to help out because when my mom was doing her healing I felt really powerless and angry and now I can help support my friend do amazing things (like baking many pies) to support women with cancer getting the care they need, even if they can't afford it. I love you Nina!
