Our new neighbors were the O'Herlihy's. They raised Greyhound racing dogs,and had a small farm too. The mother brought over a fresh home made strawberry,rhubarb pie,,! The momma said it was just like her mother used to make her many years ago in west central Ireland,(where she had lived as a girl.
Of course, we spoiled yankee boys,(more akin to unwrapping a box to get at a cake or pie,from Bohacks or the A and P,etc) could not imagine to eat this alien odd looking thing. Ha ha,,but we were curious....Then Billy took a big bite,,and a smile came to his face. That was all we needed. We all devoured Mrs O'Herlihy's, home made pie too,! It was deliceous,,I can still taste it right now as I recall a room of grown ups and kids all smiling. Not a bad way to start a new life in a new country.
