William Penn had two aunts who owned competing pie shops in colonial Philadelphia. Each was always trying to undercut the other in price, so much so that a major topic of discussion in town was the pie rates of Penn’s sunts.
I made a pumpkin pie Tuesday and had a piece. Wednesday I was too full to have any. Then I completely forgot I had a pie and had to throw the rest out. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the leftover whipped cream. It won’t go with the hot dogs I planned for dinner.
This is so innocent and representative of childhood (from a human angle): two young boys searching for pirate treasure… which classic children’s story does not include a pirate hunt, a “saffari” or some type of quest with all sorts of “adventures” and “plots” in the imagination of the young protagonist of the story.

Sirius is so adorable in his innocence you just want to pick him up and squeeze.

I wouldn’t say “no” to a slice of strawberry-rhubarb, or a chocolate or banana cream.

All this time I thought Chaos was a Scottie—Scottish Terrier, but I see on the character page he is a Sealyham? So Welch?

Outdoors, it’s likely to be a mud pie or a cow pie. But since they are kids, they can exercise their imaginations.
