Exhausting but excellent event!
Flipping to days from grave, wifee & I woke up wayyyyy too early Sat morn at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep.
So it went like this:
Up at 3am. Coffee, snack & hour drive to Lynnwood by 8am. Set-up until about 12:30. Quick stop at Guitar Center so wifee could by my b-day present. (by now it's pissin rain). Fight traffic all the way to Arlington. Hit atm. Then up the hill to get my maw. Back to Lynnwood by 3pm. We ran the penny raffle btw! Hope I saw some of you.
Wiffee trying to clerk the auction. Wifee also donated the 2 quilts. (one hers, one with church friend's help)
Me collecting all her winnings!
and shuttling raffle buckets. She won the .17HMR!!!
I barely had time to wolf down dinner and no desert! 10pm closed on time. Then tear-down until 10:45ish when we bailed. Maw's new knee & buggered back got a workout. She was done.
Back to Arlington to drop her. (now it's not pissin. It's pourin!) Finally home about 12:30. Play with the pups some and rehydrate. Lose an hour to DST!. So bed by 2am.
We were up 22 hrs straight and running the whole time.
......oh yeah.... then church the next morning with music practice an hour before that! I'm glad it's only once a year for us!
Thanx to all who participated. HUGE help for elk habitat!
and, YUP, the South African Safari hunt bidding was I N S A N E!!!!
