One of my favorite pies, and my wife does a bang-up job of baking it. We enjoyed it on Thanksgiving Day!! I had a request for the recipe, so I hope in the editing it is posted again!
Oatmeal Pie Recipe:
1 Unbaked 9″ Pie Crust
1/4 C. Butter or Margarine
1/2 C. Sugar
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Cloves
1/4 tsp Salt
1 C. Light Corn Syrup
3 Eggs
1 C Oatmeal
Cream the butter and sugar: add spices and salt. Stir in the corn syrup. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the oatmeal and pour into the pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or till a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
I lost a cousin last week to an unexpected death! This farmstead is where our Grandfather had lived. Privileged to be part of the Christ S. Miller family. Pray for us as we walk through our loss this week. Condolences to the immediate family. Gerald Miller, you will be missed.
Creativity at it’s best! The cherries are icing, as are the strips on top of the pie! And the icing is put on top of many cupcakes! Kudos to the artist!

A counted-cross-stitch with the date of our marriage hangs gracefully in our bedroom!! Our 50th anniversary is 6 months away, so the gift was in plenty of time to exhibit at that time! A big thank you to the friend who crafted this “Labor of Love!”
An interesting 65 year old “Swartzentruber Amish” gentleman! Visiting with him and his wife for at least three hours. I had taken my Uncle and Aunt, two cousins and their spouses to visit them and encourage him, while he is laid up with a broken leg. He had been my Uncle’s hired hand, 45 years ago. They remembered sending him to the neighbors, when their son was born, since it was a home birth, and they didn’t think he needed to be there for that event!! You see my cousin relaxed in the corner, enjoying the conversations which covered many events of the last 45 years, as well as events while he worked for my Uncle! Whenever he traveled home for the weekend, he would sing most of the way home in his horse and carriage, with his small hymn book in his hand. They said they could hear him singing out in the field while working. If he wasn’t singing he was preaching to the horses! 🙂
I kept wanting to get his photo, and finally after two hours I couldn’t resist. I think it looked like I was typing conversation tidbits into my phone, while taking the photo. Actually I had been typing the conversations into my phone, including way too many to write about in this post!
His brother stopped in to visit while we were there, a widower with children, who had married a widow with children. The one had 11 children and the other had 7 children when their spouses had died. In their conversations, they mentioned a 91 year-old lady, who had 130 grandchildren, and 390 great grandchildren. A family tree larger than most folks! Likely family reunions are in the summer under the shade trees, and not at the local Convention Center!
70+ year-old married gentleman who enjoys photography as a hobby. I also enjoy walking with my wife, birding, jigsaw puzzles, scrabble, carving, and travel.
