Oil Painting by NormNorm Augustinus the storyteller...

"...There were two pies, one cake and a castle made of sugar cubes. The contestants were off socializing looking modest to one another but knowing inside that they were the winner.    

Pie One:  blueberry entombed in sourdough.  The canned (not fresh) berries had soaked through the top of the pie making it unattractive even though it was sitting atop a antique crystal base. When no one is looking I push a number two pencil into the pie, honorable mention. Pie Two:  peach. In addition to the pie the baker has made a cassette tape using her good southern voice. "Peach pie is a tradition as old as the hills," says the female voice coming from the player.  When no one is looking I remove the tape from the player then stuffing it into the pie, honorable mention. 

In a one of a kind, original voice Norm Augustinus chronicles life as he sees it.
