Sweet Potato Pie

This Thanksgiving, Jerry and I will have a quiet dinner at home.  While Jerry prepares to smoke the turkey, I will fix the side dishes.  This year's celebration will be very different from our past family events.  In the past, we would travel from city to city to be with both sides of our families. From Anderson to Ohio or  St. Louis, we were blessed to be with both parents and siblings.


















On Thanksgiving day,  I will spend a portion of the day at church. It will serve as a reminder to serve others and extend the love of God in a practical way.
























Since we we will be eating alone, I am going to prepare a Sweet Potato pie.  This recipe is from www.allrecipes.com, I really want to find Sene's recipe.
