making pies

    For the first time in a couple of years, I didn’t have to work the day before Thanksgiving, which meant I got to return to one of my favorite personal traditions: Pie-a-palooza. For reasons I cannot completely explain, this particular holiday compels me to bake pies. Some are for our own enjoyment, and we share them as well. I managed to knock out nine of them today: two sweet potato, two pumpkin, two pecan, two brown sugar buttermilk, and one blueberry (Ginger’s favorite). As I worked, I couldn’t help but hum one of my favorite Patty Griffin songs, “Making Pies,” about a woman who worked at the Tabletop Pie Company in Worcester, Massachusetts. May you have a joyful and thankful day.

    Peace,
    Milton

    1. Hi Milton,

      On this day devoted to thanksgiving, I wanted to let you know that one of the things I am thankful for is you and your words. I’m a longtime reader – since your Massachusetts days. Thank you for letting me share your faith journey and for accompanying mine.
