I did it. I survived Day 1. Only one snafu. The bidding got tangled up in Facebook’s algorithms and stacking and prioritizing. So, I had people asking where the post was, and I was trying to bake a pie, and teach the kids, and rub my head and tummy at the same time.
In the end, the blueberry crumble pie sold for $85. Not a bad first day. It went to Ms. Karen Van Dyke who last year bought at least 3, maybe 5 of the pies. So I’m not surprised she was the winner today. Who knows, maybe she’ll take ALL the pies this year.
I hope you’ll enjoy the photos both of pie and the stories the little kids wrote today. They wrote about what they learned today from dissecting squid, to touching squishy, slimy, slippery sea cucumbers, to eating blueberry pie (I made an extra one for them) to touching sea stars. That’s what the Star of David means in the one drawing (translation from 7 yo).
Today’s pie was baked at the Ocean Discovery Institute building. If you would like to donate to Ocean Discovery at any time, feel free. Click that magic button below. The ODI folx are all over what you guys did last year! I’m really hoping NaNoPIEMo raises more than the super generous $4k of 2021.
See you here on the website for tomorrow’s bidding.
