Last night my cousin Holly and I hosted our 2nd Annual Bunco for Relay night. We had a great turnout with 28 people, we ate a lot of food and had a great time socializing. But best of all, we raised $442 for our Relay For Life team! We’re moving up toward our $5,000 goal!
I spent most of yesterday evening getting ready for our Bunco for Relay fundraiser tonight. This is one of my “fruits” of labor – fresh vegetables for a veggie tray.
I noticed these perfect hand prints on our bed as Jerod helped me change the sheets yesterday. What’s your feedback … is it a creative photo, or is it just hard to tell what’s going on?
Last night we went to Theatre in the Park to watch the Sound of Music. Since it was so nice outside we decided to get there early to get a good seat. Believe it or not, we got there at 6 p.m. for an 8:30 show and the crowds were already forming.
Yesterday evening my sister and nephew stayed with us before heading to the airport in the morning. My nephew loves to feed the geese and the ducks at our pond. The goslings are now several weeks old and actually bigger (and meaner) than the full-grown ducks!
This week is the Platte Woods United Methodist Church annual Trash & Treasure Sale. Since we only joined the church a few months ago, last night was my first time experiencing the sale. All I can say is…WOW! I’ve never seen so many “treasures” in my life! The only sale I know of that competes with this one is my former high school Band Garage Sale, which raises around $10,000 annually. All the proceeds from this sale go toward the church’s mission trips.
Yesterday I got together with a couple of friends at ingredient for lunch. $5 pizzas – can’t beat that! (Although I had my fair share of pizza in Italy so I got a salad this time.)
I need another pet. Maybe a puppy. Or better yet, I need to borrow someone’s child once in a while. Then maybe I would have something cute to take photos of besides my cat. Here she is again, this time getting ready to attack [a pipe cleaner] from behind her favorite hideout.
There’s something very inviting about going to the library. I’m not sure if it’s the smell of the books, the vibrant children’s section, or just the way everyone seems to slow down their pace when they enter. Or maybe I love it because I can get almost any book ever written … for free. Am I ready for a Kindle or Nook? Obviously not.
Ok, ok. It may have been more wet than wild. And it may not be summer yet, but it definitely feels like it with the 90 degree temps.
