WORKING TOGETHER

IT REALLY PAYS OFF...SEPTEMBER 23 2012....

That is definitely true.  Saturday morning at the auction proved that beyond a doubt.  The auction went well.  It was for a worthy cause, after all.

There were so many folks there, helping in every way possible.  There were the fetchers and carriers, the runners, the ones manning the computers, the auctioneer (of course if there was an auction there had to be an auctioneer), and all the women that prepared food, delivered the food, served the food, and collected the food money.  Another 'of course' what is an auction without food.

Got to talk to a lot of old friends and others, had fun seeing what some things sold for, and other things  that didn't.  Just about everyone there that bid, and won what they bid on, got a bargain. 

I've seen things go for way way more than they cost new, but were not old enough to be antiques, and saw other things that sold for practically nothing, that cost quite a lot when new.  Go figure.

Everyone got a big charge out of the woman who bid, and bought two baby strollers, among other things.  Anyone knowing her knew she was just 'slightly' beyond child-bearing age, and had to tease her mercilessly about her 'due date'.

Turns out she is expecting - her first great-grandchild.  She got some excellent bargains.  And one not  so excellent bargain.  She'd donated a small desk.  There were quite a few desks that had been donated.  They were not high on the selling list.  Turns out it cost her $29.00 to get HER desk back.  I guess she did not want it to feel neglected.  We all had a good laugh. 

I had pie for lunch, and brought home some goodies for bossman and me for supper.  That was the best purchase of all.

It was a fun Saturday.  I let bossman spend the time working and/or supervising as the plumber was there to get my sink and dish-washer back into operation after the counter-tops were installed on Friday.  Everything had to sit for 24 hours before anything else was done.  It was well worth the wait though.

Supposedly the final 'cosmetic' work will commence next week.  It will be time-consuming, but again well worth the time.  I won't know how to act, not having to house-sit the house because someone MIGHT be coming to work.  Can hardly wait!

Almost time for the Steelers.  Can't miss that game.  Hope they play well and win..  Regardless, I will enjoy the game.  Hope you do too and God Bless.
