C’mon, People, It’s Nie Nie Day!
Rep. Steve Clark’s daughter, Stephanie Nielson (author of the absolutely amazing NieNie Dialogues), and her husband Christian were in a plane crash and face a tough – and expensive – road to recovery.
UPDATE: this blogger went all in and needs some bids.
UPDATE (my auction item): A few years ago, I listed the things I do, and ranked them from 1-star (crummy) to 5-star (legendary). The 1- and 2-star items were plentiful. The single, solitary 5-star item I had was making waffles. Through hundreds of experiments that tested the outer limits of my wife’s marital vows, I created the best waffle batter ever. Truly. So . . .
. . . my auction item is awesome waffles and dulce de leche crème topping. If you live in
And, yes, I realize that waffling might not be the best identifying superlative for a politician, but I publicly bare my shame to help out a great cause. Let’s start the bidding at $20. Include email or link, to make arrangements. Bid open until end of Sunday 8/31.

I'll start the bidding at $25. Can't get out of the Bear Paw for less...
How much do you need a really good love letter? Bidding wars soon to start! :) ha xo Amy
I'd be happy to have you bring your waffling to the State Board of Ed for $35.
We've had so many people help us recently, I'm happy to help return the favor.
Thank you, Tom. I saw your post about Tobin the other day, and I cried. I didn't write anything, because I couldn't think of anything that could possibly help with the sadness you must feel for your precious son.
He must have learned a great deal in his 4 years -- and you and your family, through him. I pray that God blesses you and your family, and that you can cherish Tobin in your hearts and minds, until it's time to be reunited with him once more. I'm not sure what the Stars Wars Lego equivalent is there, but Tobin will teach it to you and maybe even let you win the first few times.
$50 - I love waffles and haven't had any great ones (let alone 5 star!)in quite awhile!
Tom,
The State School Board is on the hook for $35. I'll pay it for you into the NieNie Fund. Let me know when I'm cooking; but if I talk about vouchers the whole time, it's your fault for inviting me.
Cyndi & lee,
Thanks. If you win, do I have to make the creme an etoufee?
Thanks for your kind words about Tobin. He's a great kid. Today would have been his 4th birthday.
RE: USBE ... are you trying to make sure you're never invited back? =P lol ... Maybe we'll have to compromise, and have me trade a donation for your recipe.
The bidding is getting out of my current price range, but Cyndi had better be careful; someone might snipe that bid at the last minute. ;^)
As much as I'd love to try these "5 Star Waffles," I hope someone does outbid me at the last moment. The more money for Stephanie + Christian, the better!
However, if I am lucky enough to win these delectable delights, please no etoufee as I'm quite etoufee'd out!
I won? I won!! My mouth is watering already. Shoot me an email (cyndillard@aol.com) and let me know what I need to do to make arrangements.
I can't wait!!!
Thank you for your support! When you finalize your totals for your auction, can you email the grand total to nienieauction@gmail.com where we are collecting totals for the many auctions that took place. Thanks again!
