Week 14: Apple Pie



When I was a boy we went to my grandparents' house (Mom's parents) every Sunday. It was clockwork: get up; go to church; come home to change clothes; go to Holt in time for lunch. This happened every week with almost no exceptions. Every week, with also almost no exceptions, my grandmother would make an apple pie for dessert because she knew it was my favorite. It was always from scratch, crust included, and always delicious. There would typically be a piece or two left over and I would bring it home with me to have the next day.

So, here we are in Missouri this week visiting Jonah's grandparents and he finds a small figurine that I gave to his Great Grandma several years ago. It's a Boyd's Bears figurine of a grandmother making an apple pie while the grandchild watches in anticipation. Jonah really liked it and kept going back to it; so, we decided to carry on the tradition and have Grandma and Jonah make an apple pie. Jonah had a great time, especially playing in the dough!

Photo-wise, this is my 24-70mm at 24mm and f/6.3. There is a flash camera left firing at the ceiling at 1 stop down for fill and a flash camera right through white umbrella as the key.
