On September 16, 2009, in the evening, my mother-in-law, MommaInLawPie passed away. She had strugged for a very long time with kidney disease, dialysis and just this past year, underwent heart valve repair surgery and had a pacemaker installed. We never, in our wildest nightmares, would think after her strength in going through all of this, would she pass away suddenly. But now we are grateful that she is no longer in pain.
MommaInLawPie was an avid reader of this blog. She was my #1 fan! When I would start lacking on the posting, she would say, I don't know what you guys did this weekend or what we ate! She was a dedicated Mother, friend and wonderful person overall as evident by all of her family and friends at the wake and the funeral.
We miss you and love you dearly Mom and we think of you every day.
I thought it was going to be impressive and it really wasn't. Actually it was very disappointing overall - the service, the room and the ambiance. I give it a C+. It gets an A for cleaniness and the garden is gorgeous. Also, the toiletries are short, fat and cute - B+
Mr. Pie and I ventured down to the pool and it was just ordinary. Our cocktail waitress disappeared for almost an hour with our change. The drinks were awesome though - I highly recommend them! 
Mr. Pie is reading up on winning...
We laid out by the pool and then gussied up for dinner with MommaPie and SisterPie at Charlie Palmer at the Four Seasons!
Dinner was excellent. We had been to this Charlie Palmer location two other times - the first time was very good, the second was only okay but this time was exquisite.
Happy Phamily!
