Middle America's Worldview

Yesterday's PTA silent auction went very well. I arrived there a little after 11 a.m. and started to move the long tables in from their storage. Man those things are heavy. We ended up with about 7 tables in there. Without busting a gut, we managed to get them all in and Kelli arranged the items very neatly across the tables to allow easy view and bidding. It lasted till 4:30 p.m. and we were out of there a little after 5 p.m. Overall, we attained a little over 700 dollars in the silent auction and dvd/vhs combo drawing. Nearly 400 more than last year! Plus there were not nearly as many showed up as last year. So yes, it went very well.

We bought about 30 dollars of tickets to let the kids play the games availible. I think they played everyone of them. Plus the hair paint, fact paint, bingo, eating nacho's, soda, ect. It went pretty fast.

Get this. There was over 100 entries to win that dvd/vhs combo, but you will never believe who won it. I wasnt in the room at the time of the drawing, but as I came back toward the silent auction room, with the kids, Kelli was coming down the hall. She told me to go and give Whitney a big hug. ( she is a 6 year old ). I asked why. She told me that Whitney pulled the winner of the dvd/vhs drawing and I BETTER GIVE HER A REALLY BIG HUG. Yep, I won the bloody thing. I couldn't believe it. So I did give her a hug. LOL Kelli said she had Whitney pull the name and was blown away, informing the crowd 'you seen she did it, right?' So that made my evening.

We left there and went over to our friends house, who invited us over for supper. It was nice to sit and chat while we ate spaghetti with them. We left after 7 p.m.

The dvd/vhs wouldnt play dvd's so I had to take it back to Walmart today (Sunday) and exchange it for one that did work. This one now works. So I have it in our bedroom sitting pretty. heh heh

Today, we are having a lazy day. Actually got to lay down for some time.
