OMG, you have just brought such memories of my mother back to me. I was reading this blog and tears came to may eyes. I can remember when I was much younger, during the fall when apples where the ripest with my mother, peeling applies for her apply pies. She would prepare several (and I mean several) pies and would freeze them. She had this huge chest freezer, just like your grama, that took up 1/3 of her kitchen. However, everything was put in this freezer from the apple pies to all kinds of vegetables. When spring and summer came around, we would have the best apple pies you have ever tasted. Thank you so much for the memories! Food, especially baking, seems to elicit so many memories, doesn't it? Glad we gave you a "memorable moment" this morning - PJH
