1. At dawn, when Elsie’s Plate & Pie was just opening its doors, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside. A neighbor had left their dog inside an unlocked car, and it seemed like no one was around. The delivery driver knocked gently on the window, but the dog only barked back. Smiling, he decided to leave a note with a smiley face drawn in pie filling and walked into the bakery. Later that morning, as Elsie was preparing fresh pastries, she found the note and laughed. From then on, whenever someone forgot their pet in a parked car, they’d see a friendly message from ‘A Concerned Neighbor’—always written in delicious pie topping.

At dawn, when Elsie’s Plate & Pie was just opening its doors, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual request. ‘I’ll take two dozen of your best pies,’ he said confidently, ‘but only if you wrap them in newspaper from the year 1987.’ The baker raised an eyebrow but agreed. An hour later, the man left with his special order—pies wrapped meticulously in yellowed newspapers, their pages rustling like autumn leaves. As he drove off, someone noticed him heading towards the park where annual picnics were held every July since 1987.

He grinned and replied, 'Because Elsie’s magic isn’t just in her pies—it’s everywhere.'
