Every Day is Pie Day at "Just Pies!"

Hello!

I never forgot you even when I was in the throws of house selling/buying and computer issues.  If there was something I wanted to blog about, I stored it away in my memory and took photos/notes.

It doesn't have to be 3.14.15 to celebrate "pi"e!  On a trip to Columbus, Audra and I decided it had been too long since we had a pie from "Just Pies." They are made from scratch with real ingredients.  Oprah used to serve them in her green room to show guests.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. Well these are worth several 1,000 calories!

The filling for this is not the usual bagged glop!  I didn't realize though that there was a layer of cheesecake at the bottom.

They will send whipped cream on the side.  This is just a tiny piece.

For chocolate lovers, and you know who you are... 

Here is a tiny Buckeye Pie --it has peanut butter and chocolate filling.  This may look like a personal size, but it is heavy and really serves 4.

The selection varies seasonally and there are usually only a dozen or so choices, but all are wonderful.  They have small, medium and large and aren't cheap, but they are high density fruit and heavy!  If you want them for the holidays, it is best to order or they may be out for the day when you walk in.

P.S.  Much to my dismay,  I am never paid to endorse anything and I always purchase the product.  But then, I never asked!

If At First You Don't Succeed....

just buy the stupid new computer!

Hello!

Greetings from my new iMac.  My 9 year-old one literally "died in it's sleep" as it never woke up after publishing my last post.  I tried and tried to revive it, but I think she flat-lined for good.  No since putting more money in her, so I bit the bullet and ordered this one thinking my problems would be over...

Not so, of course.  I work impossible hours to reliably be home for deliveries.  I really took a risk when I set up my UPS My Choice account.  This is a free service (at least the first tier) where you can change delivery info and track packages.  I knew there was little hope of me being home to sign for it, so I reluctantly gave permission to have what to me is a fortune left in a box outside my home (in a heavily populated neighborhood where I know nobody.) 

When I got the message my package had been delivered, I went to the spot I requested and it wasn't there.  I was nearly in panic-mode when I decided to look around a little more.  Well, it was sorta near the spot, but in shade.  Maybe that is why.  But like Christmas morning when you open presents, then are whisked away before you can play with them, I had to go back to work.

My new blogging buddy!

Ok, I un-package everything and I must say that Apple wins my award for the coolest packaging ever.  You hate to undo it and throw it away!  I was feeling pretty good about getting the info off my old Mac because I have a time machine backup device.  Theoretically, there is a duplicate of everything.  It's a USB device  and it never occurred to me in 9 years that USBs would change plugs.  

Well, there is no fitting the old USB cord in the new port.  Now what?  Only partially annoyed, I decide to start up the computer anyway.  

Only one hitch.  All my favorites, usernames and passwords would've been transferred had the time machine fit.  I don't always update my little red book and for the life of me I couldn't remember my Apple ID, wifi password, email account info and the worst, my Blogger username, email address and password.  What should have taken a few minutes took hours and I am not nearly done.  

Once I got my main email address connected, the rainbow wheel went nuts and I had almost 1300 messages to weed through from several years.  I can't find the highlight and mass delete feature, but you can bet I will!

So, my worst technological fears were realized.  No wonder I was reluctant to get another computer!  There is also a good reason I resist change.  It's usually a pain.

Well, the bright side is I will be seeing you more as we have a lot to catch up on!  

Until next time (when there will be photos!)  Happy Fall!  Go Bucks!
