We go to an auction

Last night we attended an auction here to raise money for, K-Star, a home for children who have no home, or have been abandoned or abused. This park has been actively supporting this home all winter with drives for food and needed toys and clothing for the kids. For the auction Foxy contributed two knit scarves, and I contributed a stained glass window. We went to see if we could bid on a pie or other items which we had seen. They began the auction early, so by the time we got there, the pies were sold, but we did manage to bid on two other items. It was a rollicking time, and Hank, the auctioneer (who is from Omaha) was terrific and quite funny in the bargain. He kept things moving, and in about an hour and a half all items were sold. I think we raised over $1000 for the kids home. It was nice to see the pavilion full of winter Texans doing something good for others. Happy travels.
