My Thoughts For Today:

| Fog in rural Missouri |

| See the line of fog? |
My youngest daughter recently received her driving permit, allowing me to enjoy viewing the beauty of our area while in the car. She loves driving and I want the views outside the car. Living in Southwest Missouri is such a blessing. Many rural roads can be traveled. It is common to drive by small dairy farms and see cows, horses, or smaller animals. I have traveled to many places in the United States but there's no place like home. I love the dirt I'm from. Some farms grow food crops. The most common food crop here in Southwest Missouri is corn. Corn grows well here.

Thoughts On Strawberry Pretzel Pie:
This great Strawberry Pretzel Pie is not only tasty, but it is super delicious! I will always remember my first job. I worked at a local restaurant and they make strawberry pies there. The restaurant was famous for its "Little Round Pies" and those who lived away would always stop in to get their pie while traveling. The restaurant served several flavors of pies but my favorite was strawberry. The crust was good but it was not like the one in this recipe. The salty flavor of the pretzel contrasting with the sweetness will make your tastebuds dance.
