I am so grateful for the little things that make life easier. When I visited the North Dakota Duncan's I sat and watched in awe as Aunt Becky made pie after pie for Miriam's graduation open house. I was especially amazed when she pulled out a little gadget that peeled, cored, and sliced apples. It was great. After tasting her wonderful apple pie I became a new lover of apple pies. In preparation for the Thanksgiving feast we were planning I decided I'd go in search of the apple pie peeler that she had used. I visited a number of stores before I found mine at Big Lots. I was so excited-- I felt like a child with a new toy! Not one to let a good gadget go to waste I made TWO apple pies. And on Thanksgiving morning I peeled 5 pounds of potatoes! By the way I'm very grateful for Aunt Becky because her pie was so good I asked her what kind of apples she used. Her reply was "the cheapest ones!" So gala apples filled my pie shells and they made the best and sweetest pies imaginable. I call this a blessing because it truly is the little things that can give us the greatest joy!
