Boldly Me and pie!

Pie #17-18

I graduated from middle school in June of 1986. Summer of 2016 was the 30 year anniversary of that graduation. I LOVED middle school. I made some of the best friends that have had huge impacts in my life. It was also a growing time for myself as I learned who I was as a person. There were lots of things I didn't like and I have tried to change that in the last 30 years. I reached out to one of my very good friends that I haven't seen since we graduated because we ended up going to different high schools and drifted apart. She is doing an amazing thing with young girls and teens who are struggling with self-esteem. She created a non-profit organization that travels to schools and other locations teaching self-confidence. Her organization is called Boldly Me. She was having an event in California and invited members of our class of 1986 to come and help celebrate. It was such a great event. She is doing amazing things. 

While out there, we took the opportunity to find the best pies in the area. We were directed to a small farmer's market in San Ramon called Windmill Farms. They carry locally made pies from The Pie Company made with locally grown fruit. OH MY GOODNESS! They were delicious! We picked up the Nectarine and Peach Cobbler pies. The Peach Cobbler was overly sweet for me because of the crumble topping but the Nectarine was so, so good. Warm it up with a little vanilla ice cream and it is heaven.
