Strawberry pie and the cutest shoes ever!

G'day, Mates! We had a sister missionary in our branch several months ago who was from Brisbaine, Australia. She is now at BYU Hawaii, Elizabeth, and I think she worked at the Polynesian Cultural Center when Io worked there. Her name is Celeste Ketcher and she works in the art gallery. Anyway, she used to make me laugh so hard when she would do her American accent, and I would butcher an Australian accent. Good times. I miss her. We became good buddies, but I haven't heard from her in a long time.
I am in the process of making Erin's strawberry pie. Strawberries are now in season, and I never buy them until they are under $2 a lb. The recipe for the pie is on Erin's blog. I am putting it into a ready-made shortbread crust. Yum yum!!! Kacey loves strawberries. She hates pie, but maybe she'll try it. I usually buy lots of strawberries throughout the summer and make freezer jam with them. It is so, so good! I love it on toast and yellow cake with whipped cream! It's not cooked, so the strawberries taste very fresh.
Thank you to all who left very encouraging and kind comments for my Sunday post. I hope you know I wasn't fishing for compliments, but they made me feel so good. I love you all so much, and thanks again.
Several months ago when the weather was still super crappy I bought a pair of completely adorable strappy sandals. I love dressy shoes, but I never have enough dressy clothes to wear with all of my dressy shoes. Anyway, I wore them on Saturday (during the infamous chainsaw incident), and they hurt my feet so bad that I was nearly crippled by the time I hobbled back to my car! I took them off and drove home with no shoes on. I experienced even more severe pain in December during my choir concert. I wore a very cute pair of stiletto heels, and by the end of the concert I couldn't even feel my toes anymore. Half way through I took them off and disappeared behind the tall woman in front of me. I didn't care. Drastic times call for drastic measures. You'd think I would learn my lesson, but I still buy completely impractical, super cute shoes.
