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!)

Sister Lola had the most points to bid with.  Just how many grandchildren and great grandchildren does she have?

Wow, what fun! This was great and I'd like to say that this should be an annual Rolling Hills event!

Daniel 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.

Debbie has already scheduled her hour of cleaning for me:)

And just now Sue just brought over the biggest, yummiest cinnamon rolls -- mmm mmm good!
