After writing that title, I realized that that those five little words probably aren’t put together in that fashion very often. But, gosh, do I love writing them in exactly that order. Our cute, little pie shop, Sweetie-licious, has always needed a new floor, yet not just any floor would do. I decided long ago that a shiny pink one would be practically perfect for our happy shop.
However, many factors prevented us from getting one. First of all, we didn’t own the building. Secondly, we had no money. Thirdly, I couldn’t find the perfect pink floor.
It is a lovely wonder what patience, hard work, love and simple blessings can do to make dreams come true. You see, another dream came true in late April when I won the Crisco National Pie Championships and the Grand prize of $5000.00! And as it turned out, we were able to buy our building last summer enabling us to truly own our cute, little pie shop! Then, I happened upon a local floor shop that had just gotten in some new bright, bright pink flooring.
So, in just a few short months, I owned our darling shop, I had money to buy a new floor and I had the perfect pink floor to buy! There was obviously only one thing to do. Hence, my beautiful dream floor was installed and waxed to perfection last Sunday.
I know I talk much about dreams, but I love dreaming. I love big dreams and little dreams. I love to see my little dream of having a pink floor at my cute, little pie shop (another dream) come true.
So, for those who can, come in and be marveled at our new, shiny, pink floor. Then eat a yummy piece of our $5000.00, Tom’s Cherry Cherry Berry pie. My only request is that you don’t get any pie on the floor!
Keep dreaming.
Eat Pie, Love Life,
