I saw the title and went straight to the vidalia pie. I never heard of anythign like that before but it sure sounds good. That a must for my recipe box.
Dear Bren ... enjoy the simple pleasure of fresh asparagus (we cook extra since all nibble before dinner). You are a dear and so enjoyed your lovely tribute to your father. I cooked ... my husband, sons, and grandsons went to the Tiger game ... photos on the field with players and coach. It was a Father's Day day as good as it gets!
Too cute, Sheila. You are not alone ... indeed my father was a handsome man as was my mother (check her out on my Mother's Day post). Besides giving me the 'greatest gift', 'the moon', he left me with his sense of humor that I pray lives within me.
Beckie, you are a dear. The week was heavy dealing with power outages and appointments with my ailing sister. Blessed with my beautiful family, we dined on this feast tonight, including Honey-Sesame Grilled Shrimp and Strawberry Shortcake. I made 2 Vidalia Onion pies and only 1/2 of one is left. Considering the hefty fare, I was shocked! Needless to say, all 'rolled' out the door ... Give it a try!
Tuck it away, Janie Marie, for a 'let's not count calorie' day ;)
The old photo pictures are great! Nice to see you're still blogging.
Hi Joey!
What a wonderful tribute to your father...love the second picture of him ~very handsome, & love the pose! The Vidalia onion pie sounds really yummy!! ~A must try! ;)
Thanks again for the email~:)

Thanks Jill. Good to hear from you again. I must pop over for visit and see your lovely photography.
My father was quite 'dapper', Cat. Do believe that was a honeymoon photo taken on Mackinac Island. The first was a wedding photo ... he was 29. Though much fairer, my sons resemble him.
