Friday has been my traditional pie delivery day. I picked Friday because it worked well in my schedule. I also thought having a pie on hand for the weekend would make the weekend even better for my customers.
I do deliver on other days of the week. On Wednesday morning, I dropped off a pie that a young woman had got as a birthday gift for a friend. She wrote that her friend had been “drooling over” my email messages, and so she wanted to surprise her for her birthday. She was sweet enough to send me a follow up message and let me know the pie was a “huge hit”– the kind of stuff I always love to hear.
Baking pies is good time, but delivering a pie is pure joy. People are always happy to see you when you are holding a pie! So much of what we have in our lives is meant for anyone, but a pie baked just for you– that’s the kind of gift that means the most.
