Personal Notes:
My mom, Grace Pietro made the best pies. From lemon meringue to cherry pies and tarts. She always made her own crust which were nice and flaky. But my favorite memory is making the cherry pies. We would pick the cherries from Nonie's tree, pit them and they she would take over by washing the cherries and turning them into a delicious pie. The pies smelled so good that we would wait for a piece to eat. Even thought it was hot, my mom loved watching us enjoy it.
