Don’t Worry, I’ll Find It.

Joy in a Tree

This weekend, I went to Oakland, smiled a lot, sat in a tree and ran over a tumble weed at high speeds.

I wanted to sit down today and tell you about pie… about pie that’s so full of love and goodness it might make your heart explode. I’ve got the pictures, I’ve got the proof, and I can’t find the recipe. It’s got to be here somewhere covered in crumbs and flour.

Gimme a minute. Ok… gimme a few hours. I’ve got pie. You’ve got a heart that’s ready to explode. Now we just need to find that darn recipe…..

Perhaps your missing pie recipe is off having an adventure with my huli-huli chicken recipe. I’m sure they’ll come home soon. With souvenir shot glasses.

What a great photo of you. Even though I only know as much as your posts allow, I feel like this picture is a great snapshot of who you are. It’s pretty much exactly the kind of picture I’d expect Joy to be in. And I like pie. A lot. I’ll wait patiently.

I can’t tell you how many times I have to go back to my blog to find a recipe. See all this is good for something!
Have you looked in the flour bin? :-)

Pie or not, that smile, in that setting, in that light says, “woman in love.” Possibly with someone. Perhaps, just loving the moment.

Beautiful photo. I absolutely love your blog, I have gotten so much inspiration from it.
One question, where is that tree? I live in Berkeley and I’m alway looking for new places to explore in the bay area and that tree looks like the perfect climbing tree.
