I survived the Fundraiser and boy am I pooped!
It went well, we did better than expected in our live auction!
I even got a early birthday present!
A friend of mine is well known nationally for her gourd designs.
Several years ago Enesco even bought some of her designs.
At my Christmas party she told me she had the perfect
Gourd to make Abe Lincoln out of!
Coles County, so he dropped by.
Another talented person brought something for us to use for signage
She made sandwich boards out of pallet's
She put handles on them, stained them like barn wood.
how smart!
we used this one out front.
My friend Brenda
Look what Brenda made for the Fundraiser...this came home with me too!
The twins sang happy birthday to me "happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, this gourd and board are for you, happy birthday to you!"
They are such a hoot!
we ended the night at Dairy Queen
I had a peanut buster parfait
it brought a tear to my eye, the first one I ever had was the night of
my High School awards night when I won so many things my Mom
was actually embarrassed!
I thought it was a night to celebrate again.
Sorry I have been MIA
miss you all.

Hi Ann! Oh, I'm so glad your event went so well. The gourd Abe is amazing! He looks right at home too. You'll have to find the perfect place for him to rest his weary bottom. I want to wish you a belated Happy Birthday and your little cousin twins look like little hoots. I just love hoots.
Thank you for your prayers, sweet friend.
You are the sweetie,
