How did it get to be January 2, 2013 so quickly? It was a busy December for me with lots of catering (thank you everyone!) and then we were away for Christmas with both of our children… and then, BAM, Happy New Year! I don’t know about you, but even though it arrived fast, I am excited about the possibilities!
I’m not really into New Year’s resolutions but in the past few days several friends have shared interesting links and I thought I would share with you some of my favorites.
- A short video of a 90 year-old couple
- A fun rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas
- A TED talk of how one man named Jason Roberts began to change the world… and wants you to do it too!
Since I am still baking almost every day, yesterday I decided to bake a pie for someone to celebrate the New Year. As I thought of who might be a good recipient, I soon realized that many of my friends are on diets right now… and I didn’t want to be the reason someone fell off their diet. I continued to think about a recipient, and found one right in my neighborhood. One of our neighbors is an older man who lives alone… and that’s all I needed to know as I put together a quiche for him. When the quiche was ready, I walked over to his house with a friend and surprised him with a piping hot quiche. My neighbor beamed a smile at me and I was reminded of how good it feels to do something nice for someone… “just because.”

Pie a Day Give Away 
If you need a reason to make a pie here is one! I have been paying child support since 2005 last one in college. Boyfriend has not been able to find a job in almost a year! Cant pay federal taxes because of rent,car ins, and child support and electricity. Have not seen my kids in 7mths. And I work full time at The Bulletin in Bend, Oregon. Seems like things never get any better, but I keep my chin up and think PIE! PIE! PIE!
And all of the sudden things seem to not be so bad! I would love to have the chocolatest pie you have to keep my spirits up! Bless you!
