• Auction Results

  Each of the girls' baskets brought in $100.  YAY!

  One of the "items" being auctioned was a basement refinish.  It went for $17,000!!!

  The auction as a whole brought in... are you ready??? 

   

  $40,000!!!!!!

   

  Yes-sir-ee-bob...  40 grand.  Insane.

  I came home with two baskets.  One is a candleholder thing that didn't have any bids on it during the silent auction.  Neither my mom nor I wanted it, but I bid $20 to get started, and she went over and outbid me at $25, but then let me have it.  It was Zach's (a good friend of Ciera's), so I wanted it to at least sell.  The other basket I got was a Red, White, & Blue basket. Full of everything like wall hangings and tins and candy and candles and even Mickey Mouse in Uncle Sam garb.  I paid $42 for that one.  Had I actually paid for all of the items in the basket, I probably would have spent $75.  Not that I would have bought it all.  Sometimes it's fun to get baskets like that just for the surprises inside.

  There were 10 people at our table, and all of us had bid on desserts.  And NOT ONE of us got a dessert!!!  Well, take that back.  One couple at our table won a large fruit tray.  That tasted great to me.

  I didn't make it past the dinner and silent auction.  I think I stayed for about 3 of the live auction things, but those were going for $500+, so I knew I wasn't going to win anything else.  So I just came on home.

  The girls' trips are paid for.  Meleia's passport has arrived.  We need to go to Goodwill in order to get grungy clothes for the girls to do house building in, but other than that, we're ready for them to leave on 3/25.
