Fried Pies for dad

 Today i made fried pies .. Not that a  fried  pie is super special .....but today was my dads birthday . It is no secret in my family that my dad likes pie...apple is his favorite to be clear. When February rolls around each year it's common knowledge  that he will get a pie. But this year as I floured the counter and prepared the dough ...I thought ...how many more opportunities will I get to make my dad his birthday pie?????....so today I  opted for fried pies. I knew he would  enjoy them for the days to come with his coffee each morning.  As I rolled each pie i thought about my dad and about all the things he has done for us . How he worked so hard for so long to take care of us . All the handy man projects, all the life disasters that he rescued us so many times. I began to thank God that he gave me such an awesome earthly father to help me along and teach us so much .  As i cleaned and hurried to load up his birthday lunch and especially his little pies , I was so thankful for the time to be able to give to daddy .....to make sure he had his birthday pie one more year..
