Fresh Peach Pie

Sunday afternoon I made a peach pie with some fresh peaches from Fort Valley, Georgia. They were delicious juicy and ripe. Of course I went to Granny's recipes and found several recipes. This is the one I chose.

Fresh Peach Pie
1 1/2 cup chopped ripe peaches
1/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon vanilla

Peel and chop peaches and toss with lemon juice and lemon zest. Place in the bottom of a regular (not deep dish) pie shell.

Mix sugar, flour, and melted butter. beat in eggs and vanilla. Pour over peaches do not stir. Place in a 350 degree oven for 15 min. Turn oven down to 300 cook for additional 40 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack. Serve with heavy cream or ice cream.
I used a deep dish pie plate and a ready made crust. The recipe was not intended for deep dish. So I added more peaches but did not increase the eggs. The custard was good but if there had another egg and a little more butter it would have been better in the deep dish.

July 14th, 2012 Holland Before and After Surgery

I have a great many things to catch you up on here on Granny Lessons. Holland's surgery was a great sucess. He is still going to therapy two days a week in Birmingham and three days in Dothan.

One afternoon recently while playing with his cousin Colt, Holland said" Colt when my feet are finally flat I am going to out run all of ya'll." I believe him. He has the determination and faith needed to remove this mountain he's facing.

Holland and his Great Granny the night before surgery.

This is a good picture taken before surgery showing how he stood on his feet. This is as far as he could stretch those leg muscles.

The first afternoon he came home from Birmingham I went over to his house and he grabbed me by the hand and said, "Come on Aunt Kaye! I want you to come in my bedroom with me." We went in his room and he said "Pick me up and put me on the bed and get these braces off of me and put my cowboy boots on." I started taking his braces off and he said it's o.k. not to wear them when I have my cowboy boots on. I'm like a regular kid now!" He knew what I was thinking before I ever said anything! So I put his boots on and he went outside, with our help of course and got on his little John Deere Gator. He had a blast!

Holland playing doctor before surgery.  His favorite show is Grey's Anatomy.

The family together the night before surgery. I don't know but it looks like everyone is leaning left. Could it be because everyone was holding each other up with lots of love? I'm sure of it.

Hudson back in Dothan with me. I spent alot of time with this little chipmunk named Henley too. Her pictures follow.

The second top tooth broke through the morning I took this picture! Just overnight and poof it was there!

Had fun shopping for Henley in Doodlebugs in Dothan. http://www.mylittledoodlebug.com/ super cute smocked outfits for girls and boys.

As you can see Holland is a happy little camper and his legs are getting stronger everyday!

He chose one red and one orange cast! You can see how flat his feet are now after surgery.

Miss Priss Henley is enjoying a ride in the Fun Factory, in Franklin, N. C. recently. I think she likes it! She has her first birthday this week!!...Holland is driving.

Holland showing off his bending knees and flat feet. He chose camouflage for these casts. Keep this little guy in your prayers. He is going to do great things in this world.
