Making a pie.

Mom's friend wanted to make the family a pie as a thank you for bringing her here during the evacuation.  She went first to the apple tree and picked her apples to use.  Next was the recipe book.  As she was naming ingredients, I told her what I had.  No crisco use margarine.  She then asked for a flour sifter - I never had one.  A pastry cutter was next - what's that?  No I don't own one.  Use a fork.  Okay now she is in the kitchen busy making the crust.  We are watching and wating patiently to taste test it.  Do we really have to wait that long?....
