Personal Notes:
I had 2 different ladies come and teach me to make a pie crust. I think it is good fellowship to ask for help as well as gaining useful skills. There is always someone out there in need of fellowship and someone to learn a skill from.

It is fun to put cut outs on the pie to make it special or you can make a simple shape cut out of the center. Make it beautiful!
