Thanks for the heads up. I see you must order these pies by November 19th, which is Friday.

Good luck with your fundraiser.

YourPalWill,

Thanks so much for the info. I'm a big advocate of the work that they do, and because of your post was actually able to convince my "nothing-but-homemade-for-the-holidays" family that these pies were a must. We've ordered two.

Thanks again, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Dear Will,

Thanks for the tip on the pies. I ordered two, the cranberry-apple and the pumpkin, and they were a huge hit at Thanksgiving dinner (the first that we have hosted!). I hope that these will be a tradition at Inspiration Cafe, because they were delicious, and because I can't make a pie to save my life.

Also, the folks at the cafe were so friendly, and the cafe was so warm and welcoming on a sleet-filled afternoon that I was very embarrassed that I have not gone for lunch (I live only a few blocks away). I'm eager to correct that, and to try out their new place on Sheridan.

Thanks again for the information. I hope that you had a good holiday, and that the pie sale was a huge success for your organization.

Thanks to all who participated. Your support of Inspiration is greatly appreciated.
