My dear, dear sister-in-law, Melinda is one endearing woman. She is full of fun and has a smile that lights up a room and warms your heart. She always is doing lovely things for other people – taking older relatives to church and doctor appointments and making delicious meals and desserts for the down-hearted and lonely. She simply loves to make someone’s average day a wonderful one. Melinda’s  homemade Rhubarb Pie is loved by all who receive one, especially by her adoring family. The pink sweet-tart filling and flaky crust are a perfect combination for this early summer pie. There is nothing better then to see her with a glorious pie in her arms and a smile on her face. Melinda is indeed a woman we should all emulate. She lives her life simply and beautifully – giving to others her time, her laughter and her love.
