I already knew the outcome because I knew just how special that sour Cherry is! I made one yesterday and it did not disappoint!

Marbles are highly overrated anyway. That cherry pie had its own warning system so you’d get it at the right moment!! 🍒

I got my subscription just to read the rest of this story. I'm a quilter and I had something similar happen to me with entries to a County Fair. That was a very long time ago and I'm tearing up here for you and for the memories. Congratulations!

My grandma used to say that things usually look better in the morning. This is a great reminder!

We share the same soundtrack, my Friend; those do-do-do-do-doots get me everytime. I envision you in the kitchen like the Bob Ross of pies, lovingly crafting that no-mistakes-only-happy-accidents crust-singe into the magnificent Best In Show it had inside all along! Things always *do* look better in the morning, or, in a parallel soundtrack, "the sun'll come out tomorrow..." xoxo PS Who the hell *did* hack the blackberry patch??
