The girls brought the desserts so I didn't have to worry about that. Brenda brought assorted berries, grapes and whipped cream and Sam, the daughter of our friend Tom, brought a key lime pie. Sam is learning to cook and has been making recipes from the copy of the Joy of Cooking that my son gave her for Christmas last year. Her pie was a hit and the meringue was perfect!
