hello, i do hope you have had a wonderful week. 

we:

~ took it slow

~ ate at our favorite neighborhood pizza shop

~ and our favorite ice cream shop {twice}

~ spent minimal time on the computer

~ swam

~ swam

~ and swam some more

~ cried during the closing ceremony of the olympics

~ watched a neighborhood parade

~ watched the girls take such delight in that parade

~ ate waffles or pancakes almost every morning

~ made another tote bag for adie to carry her ballet shoes to class in

~ organized an art cabinet for the girls

~ organized a sewing/print making/camera cabinet for mama

~ slept

~ signed up for a 'learn to knit' class

~ landscaped - said a sad goodbye to a dying evergreen

~ watched the girls dance and sing with donny osmond in joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat at least once a day

~ discovered:

   teddy thompson

    fleet foxes

    adele

    noah and the whale

~ baked a white peach and raspberry pie:

    ~ 2 crusts {recipe here}

    ~ 6 large white peaches {thinly slice}

    ~ 6 oz. fresh, plump raspberries

    ~ 1/2 c. flour

    ~ 3/4 c. raw sugar

    ~ 1/2 t. cinnamon

    ~ 5 T. butter

preheat the oven to 425.  combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon and set aside.  in a large bowl, combine the peaches, raspberries and the flour mixture.  ensure the fruit is thoroughly coated and set aside for 10 minutes.  roll out the first crust and place it into a buttered pie dish.  fill the crust with fruit - pack it in.  chop the butter into 8-10 pieces and dot over the top of the fruit.  roll out the second crust and cut thin stripes with a knife or pastry cutter.  create a lattice top by weaving the pieces - it is easiest to lay half of the pieces in one direction first, then weave one piece at a time in the opposite direction.  place a drip pan in your oven and bake the pie for 30 minutes.  turn the oven temperature down to 325 and bake for an additional 20 minutes.  let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

have a lovely day - hope to check in later this week!

You are such a motivator for food. I bought some peaches and raspberries today to make pie. And knitting seems to be on my "need-to-learn" list too.
