Sunday Reflections – April 28, 2013

Happy Weekend! I hope yours has been a time to recharge your batteries. This Sunday Reflections has a theme – Pies! This weekend was the Great American Pie Festival in Celebration, Florida. I have not entered any of the competitions (yet), but I’m an experienced sampler. All the pies you can eat at $10 for adults and $5 for children. What’s not to love? I’m including a few pictures of the festival, but also some of the pins from my Pies-Tarts-Crostatas board. One of these pins will be posted on this week. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
