Late this morning I had a phone call from Heather. "If you are going to be home for ten minutes, we have something to bring you," said Heather. I know she is a good baker so I certainly was willing to be at home until they arrived even though I was just getting organized to go to the grocery store. Heather and Ross live in Milton but we know them from the cottage. They have a large cottage just across the street from us at the cottage but they are not on the water. The public beach is four lots along the shore which they have used through the years but we have encouraged them to use our beach and dock when their grandchildren come to visit, whether or not we are there. They appreciate the privacy and quiet of our place. We on the other hand, are pleased that people use the lovely little spot.
Sure enough, in a short time, they arrived at our home. Heather had baked a strawberry/rhubarb pie just for us. It was still piping hot straight out of the oven when she brought it into our kitchen. They loved the view from our house but would not stay and after five minutes they were gone. They had not driven out our driveway before I ate a piece of the hot pie. It was delicious. I had told Heather once that strawberry/rhubarb pie was my favorite so she made us a pie, just to be nice. I am always astonished at how kind people are to us. Last summer afternoon at the cottage they brought over two big pieces of lemon pie for us, again just to be nice. Heather and Ross are good neighbors to us at the cottage. In addition, we enjoy Heather's pies!!
