Promises and Belated Valentines

Sindy's Bakery, February 21, 2021

Sindy: I think I have a strawberry tart in the back, anything else sir?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gerard: Just my order, oh, and a half dozen of your raspberry kringle pieces. 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gerry: I hope this does the trick, I'm a week late.

Sindy: That's Mrs. Devers favorite, I'm sure they will. Goodnight, Mr. Puckham.

Gerry heads for the elevator and up to the second floor.
***

Gerry: Bonsoir Madame and Mademoiselles! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gerry: I just got back from Memphis, drove all night the weather was awful, but I wanted to stop by and give my regards. And, bearing gifts and good news! 

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ella: Well, look what the cat dragged in---a week late. I hope that bakery isn't as old as that candy.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gerry:Flowers for Miss Devers, bakery for Madame Ella, and chocolates for Miss Emilie. You all of course were in my thoughts for Valentine's Day.

Callie/Colette: SO? How did the trip go, did you get my booking date set up?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ella: Sit your fine butt down, Gerry, and have a glass of wine with me. These girls won't let me pop another bottle open. Sure is nothing else to do, here in Covid town.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gerry: No thank you...I'm just here for a quick visit. Callie, they want a new song added. We can work on it  down at the studio tomorrow, if you like?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Callie: I don't have any other songs ready, now.

Gerry: I know, but I have their new track in my bag, you can hear it tomorrow. It's a great track for you, Callie. This may be the break we need before we release your own music.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ella: Gerry Puckham you know I can't pass up on strawberries. (She mumbles sucking on a strawberry.)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gerry: Sleep on it, Callie.  Speaking of which I need some shut eye...now. G'night Mrs. Devers, Emilie.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Emilie: Merci Beaucoup, Gerry and...

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I hope you sleep well, too.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gerry: How about tomorrow at noon, if that is convenient, Callie?

(Callie turns the flowers round and round)

Thank you for the flowers, I  have this other song I'm working on. I will bring that, and we will send them both, do you understand?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Gerry: What ever you want to do, but this may be our big chance. Au revoir, and bonne nuit mes bonbons.

(Emilie giggles at 'goodnight my sweets'.)

(Ella pours herself another glass of wine)

(Callie hums to herself and scratches away at her score.)

Callie: I'll see you tomorrow, Gerry.


barbieoldnewgreenredo

(Down stairs)
Gerry: Now, if I can convince Callie to do this the way THEY want to do it, we will be in! In with a big label, and the big money.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Ella: Well, honey, what do you have ready to show HIS big label?  Right now, I'm going to get some plates for this bakery. Anyone else want strawberry tart, oooh, and some gooey kringle?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Callie: Sure, Mama, and kringle, maybe a little wine, too, and celebrate.
(Humming along and nodding her head to music on paper and in her head).

Hearts at the Patisserie


Ad-Free Blog
Sindy's Patisserie has been stocking up for the busy Valentines' Week. 



barbieoldnewgreenredo

Our window is full of Hearts and strawberries, raspberry cakes and tasty cookies. Perfect to share with your loved one---or send to a loved one.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Despite the cold temperatures, many patrons stop by for a 'nosh' and some hot coffee or cocoa. We are excited because Chicago is slowly lifting restrictions, and soon Sindy's will be serving inside.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Luckily the neighborhood has supported our shop through the Pandemic. We are now almost a whole year old. Breads and rolls are still the staple, but sweets are definitely a treat for all those who have been locked in.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

My favorites are the Danish Kringle with cherry or raspberry filling, and the chocolate cherry mini-cakes.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Our whip cream cakes are always great sellers and a treat for any occasion.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Lots of boxes are ready, and dishes are ready for serving in the shop! We will have hot tea, coffee and cocoa, along with chilled bottle beverages. We will have safe seating for 2 groups in the shop and lobby.


barbieoldnewgreenredo

So come visit Sindy's Patisserie. We are taking orders for your Valentine gifts and treats to take home. Our Red Velvet Hearts on a Danish comes in three sizes, perfect for family's or your special loved ones.

Valentines at the HFIM House.

Chicagoland is snowy and iced in. So, Chelsea had her friends Courtney and MaryK, and cousins, Scooter and Skipper over to make Valentines at the HFIM house.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Skipper, Scooter and Chelsea have been busy all afternoon.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Scooter: I'm starting to run out of ideas! But, these stickers are sure helping!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Courtney: I've run out of pink, purple and red paper, and I have a blister from cutting hearts.

MaryK: How many more folded cards do we need?




barbieoldnewgreenredo

Skipper: I need at least two more! 
Scooter: I need maybe three.
MaryKay: Really? I only need ONE for my boyfriend.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

The V-Cards stack up---more and more...as the snow gets deeper and deeper.

In the dining room, Rory is running late, while the gals are having tea and coffee.


barbieoldnewgreenredo
Rory: My Uber is here, I have to go....what an awful day---Lake Shore Drive is being re-routed, and it was so slippery. Curtain goes up in three hours.


barbieoldnewgreenredo

MaryK: Chelsea said you are Belle in Beauty and the Beast---how romantic. 
Rory: Yes, I was at the Chicago Children's hospital this morning---now I have to get to the theatre...have fun girls.


barbieoldnewgreenredo

MaryK: Can you imagine dancing with the Beast Prince every night....(sigh) How Romantic!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Skipper: Gosh, Chelsea you get to live with a star! Let's wave through the window!


barbieoldnewgreenredo

Barbie: How about you girls clean up----and I'll put a couple of pizzas in the oven.
Courtney: Oh, I think MK and I better go, Barbie. My mom called and she said she will be at the end of the block waiting. Thanks for having us---it's been fun!
Barbie: Well, yes weather is bad, be careful girls--it's slippery out there.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Now, what else is going on ---in the HFIM house?
