I’m visiting mom in Indiana this week. Today I made a Sweet Potato Pie and a Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie.

Would this class typically be full? Or did a lot of people not show up?

But there seems to be a second coming?

Just as a reminder millennials, there’s just a lot more of you than anybody else so you’re following the same trend line not leading it. —xoxo, your older X siblings.
