There is always a new mosaic mud pie adventure waiting for us right around the next corner...so turn around and stay awhile...and we will see the joy in my universe...

Margie Ann and The Mosaic Mud Pies

     The average price for a homemade mud pie in 1967 was thirty-five cents if you lived in Waco, Texas.  Margie Ann Swanson didn’t know much about averages at the age of 4, but she did know a great deal about making homemade mud pies in Waco, Texas. 

     “Ring! Ring! Ring!...Hello?...Margie Ann’s Pie Shop! Okay…okay…That will be one cherry, one coconut, and two chocolate cream pies for you today.  They will cost two dollars and 106 cents.  They will be ready in one hour.  Thank you!” 

It’s very important to always say, “Thank you!”, when someone calls to order my fresh baked mud pies.  It’s also very important that I write down my orders on this pink pad, just like Paw does when people call him to unclog their toilets.”

“Good manners are good business!” says my Paw....
