I WON A PIE!
A few days ago I was going to make caramel apples, which I had been procrastinating on for a week. I realized that we had use the syrup the day before and was a little, no very, frustrated that I had to go to Trader Joes and it showed. So since I had to get my groceries for the week anyways Brinnlee and I headed out. Well it just happened that Trader Joes was grilling hot dogs and giving away pies. They did a drawing every 15 minutes. You had to find a laminated pie on the floor with a number on it and if they drew that number you were able to choose an apple or pumpkin pie. Brinnlee REALLY wanted to play and we had just missed the opportunity so when we got up to the register she asked when the drawing would be held again. The cashier told her in about 10 min. Brinnlee asked if we could stay and wait so she could try to win a pie. I really did not want too but by the time we got the groceries in the car and sampled the hot dogs, chips and water it was time for the drawing. So Brinnlee went in and stood on a pie. The cashier had seen her and told her to find another one because the pie she was standing on had won last time, so she switched to pie number 7. When they announced to find a pie Brinnlee was so excited. Then when they announced that number 7 had won she was beyond excited and I will admit I was too because I love pie! She choose the apple and it just happened to be that I need to by whipping cream that day as well. I don't think I have every seen Brinnlee so joyful that her cheeks were red. The Lord knew exactly what I needed and use my daughter to show how crazyy it really was to be so frustrated about needing to go to the store. He gives us blessings even when we don't "deserve" them. By the way the pie was very tasty too.
