I've spent the majority of my morning baking pies and working my croissant dough.  I took some photos, but thought I'd show you this sweet pie on eBay.  Doesn't look like a pie.. does it?

Here are my pies..

Pecan pie unbaked  (Karo Syrup recipe)

Unbaked Pecan Tartlets

Tiny Oak leaves out of pie crust.  I wanted to put these all around the edge of the tartlets… you know standing up.. but #1 said that was over the top. (what does she know?)

Pumpkin pie.. Cooking with his pumpkin pie friends.

Croissant Dough… resting

Here's what they look like when they are done..

What are you making for Thanksgiving dinner?

This morning I woke up bright and early to this creature. 

Oh and this one…. (there were 2 big bucks within 15 feet of each other)

There were also a couple of does.

Isn't this an awesome animal?  They were only about 20 feet from the back of our house.

I saw one of them while making breakfast.  I went over to our back doors to see him better and he looked up at me, like he knew I was looking at him.

See you later deer….

Last Thursday we were out in Lee's Summit.  I noticed the Starbucks that I had visited on NUMEROUS occasions.. and the first place I first tasted my favorite drink… White Chocolate Mocha (non fat). Had changed.  It no longer was a free standing, non-moving building, but a trailer.. on WHEELS!

Seriously… This is Starbucks.

The cones are part of the drive thru.  You can sorta see in the background the old Starbucks that is being re-modeled.

Here is the storage area. Festive basket huh?

Seating… notice the nice flooring.

Fancy bathroom…

This remodeling-Starbucks in a trailer.. cracks me up.

I wanted to ask the employees..

• What the customers think of the new building?
• Do they still have wifi?
• Has anyone stolen anything from the "storage" shed?
• Anyone ran over your drive thru cones?
• Have customers been nice or do they complain?
• Had any strange people take photos of the new operation?
