No hidden agenda, cruelty or derogatory intentions did I have, I really do have a mild form of dyslexia and a touch of ADD. (Some guys have all the luck) As a youth I struggled in school finding it difficult to focus on structure. As an adult I’m much better equipped to deal with. Paul

We buy the Costco pumpkin pies for both the large family Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. We often toss in an Apple pie as well. You can't beat them.

BTW, when we host Euchre for 12 folks, we buy a Costco cheesecake.

Jim is correct there is a missing word, and Paul is being cruel to me again LOL

Of course there is story to this image. Costco had a sale, I guess on these huge pumpkin pies, 12 inches across and weighing three and a half pounds for $6. Knowing my weakness for sweets I simply walked away and went over to CVS to pick up some meds.

While there, the pharmacist warned me of the very high cost of my blood thinners. Toward the end of the year any meds I take become fantastically expensive because I move out of one plan level to another. However, I asked the pharmacist, How much my brain was worth, and that I had no choice, though this prescription was fantastically expensive.

CVS always gets me these often useless coupons but I saw these candles and connected them with the Costco pie which I went back and purchased. I am more of a cherry, Apple, Peach sort of pie person but the pumpkin pie really was awfully good.

And of course it became useful and setting up these shots with the free candles. Happy was supposed to be the only word, but I continued playing with the image and out came the word Day and, again Jim is correct, it is a better image than the initial one that I thought of with just Happy. Traveller

Paul - I will guess that there are candles sitting on the table which read "BIRTH" and that they wouldn't fit after HAPPY made their/its appearance.

Great out of the box creative thinking! Right about now I feel somewhat dyslexic not knowing if I should be reading front to back or the other way around. Paul

As a traditionalist, I like this view the best of the two presented. I like the whole pie view.
I view this as a fun shot with lighting only from the candles.
