now 60, now back to you with 65, now 70, 
oh now I hear 100, 150, 200. . . Just how many points do you have?. . . okay, going once, twice, sold to . . ." (THANKS, Daniel! You were the perfect auctioneer!)

Wow, what fun! This was great and I'd like to say that this should be an annual Rolling Hills event!
ReplyDeleteDaniel was wonderfully entertaining and the food was great. I love you all!
Hey, this auction has been great. I may not have won the walk and talk with Konda, but it inspired one with Caryn, Shelly and I this morning.
ReplyDeleteDebbie has already scheduled her hour of cleaning for me:)
And just now Sue just brought over the biggest, yummiest cinnamon rolls -- mmm mmm good!
I loved the service auction. I hope we do it again next year!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the reporting, too.
