When I was 14






Summer is my favorite season of the year, it reminds me of my youth growing up in Santa Cruz, CA half a block from the beach. I'd stub my poor toes every day cuz I never wore shoes! I have sand between my toes eternally! At the bottom of the "gully" across the street, I'd pick blackberries with my sister and our caretaker Peggy would teach us how to make a blackberry pie. And with the left over pie dough? We'd roll it out, sprinkle it with cinnamon and suger, cut it into strips and pop it in the oven for a "I-can't-wait- two-hours-for-the-pie-to-bake-and-cool" treat within ten minuites. YUMMY!
