On 30th of August all Baltic States presidents are meeting Barack Obama in the White House.

I personally do envy Toomas Henrik Ilves at this point :) 

Especially there is a new cute puppy in the White House. 

Meet Sunny the Portugese Water Dog! 

Keep an eye on the news and see how the meeting went in Washington.

Since it is almost Harvest time we should take time and bake some apple pie to get ready for school.

 It also time to start thinking about SAT, ACT, college and scholarships. Have a nice piece of pie and think where you want to be in the future-perhaps in USA? 

How to make this amazing pie?

Recipe is here!
