Good Things Come in Threes

Good Things Come in Threes

Yesterday was a very big day and one I want to share with you. They say good things come in threes and today three big things happened.

Yesterday morning I found out that one of my recipes was linked to in an article on Eater National. That was thing one.

Next I headed out to the mailbox to pick up the post. I looked down on the porch and there was a package. I brought it in thinking that it was a book on apples that I had recently ordered. I headed into the kitchen to get the snips to open it up. Snip one, snip two, I pulled back the packaging. What? This wasn’t the book I ordered. Snip three. Oh. My. Gosh. This book? This book was my book!

I took it out and burst into tears. In my hands I was holding two years of my life. Two years of writing, testing, photo shoots, and editing. Two years I gladly gave to a crazy project of wanting everyone who wants to learn to make pie to be able to to so and since not everyone can join me in my kitchen at Pie Cottage or at workshops and camps, writing a book about pie making would be a way that I could join you in yours. That was Thing 2.

And Thing 3? I will be taking the book with me when I fly to Pennsylvania this week where I am scheduled to be on QVC’s In the Kitchen with David. I will be on the show this Sunday, July 24 live at noon Eastern Time. That’s a pretty big Thing 3 for this country girl!

So if you have TV, I hope you might consider watching. In fact, let me say it this way. Please join me on Sunday July 24th at noon Eastern Time to watch my big QVC TV debut on In the Kitchen with David.

I’m hoping that I won’t forget anything… like all my marbles in the excitement…and just so I won’t lose them, my marbles that is, I’ll take a few with me for good luck.

Oh, and one last thing. Even though she passed away a long time ago, July 24th would have been my mom’s 99th birthday. I’ll be thinking of her on Sunday and carrying her spirit with me.

OK, my friends. See you Sunday July 24th at Noon (Eastern Time) on QVC!

    That book is not two years of your life, it is all of your life…because I bet it includes all of the wisdom you have shared over many years about making pie and living life. I am so excited for you! And so happy I pre-ordered my copy!

    Relish the moment, you have earned it!
