Last night's charitable event held at a huge sports bar to raise money for a fellow worker with kidney cancer was a roaring success. Ashley kindly donated two large porcelain bowls. They were quite popular and sold for way more than she could have fetched for them at one of her sales.
I guess we were swept up in the moment.
There were some interesting prizes other than the usual ones like golf course prizes, weekends at someones' cottage, or paintings, golf clubs, jewelry, art mani-pedicures, and spa packages. This is what I thought was weird... shadow boxes of giant tarantulas and cockroaches and stuffed or dehydrated bats.
I was grossed out. I thought that we were not supposed to donate crap that we cleaned out of the attic. But, this was taken out of one freaky attic. More surprising were the people who wanted those grisly things....people that at first glance you wouldn't think were in a coven or a weird cult. They played hard for them too; writing their names down on the silent auction sheets and then lurking close by as someone else sidled up looking over their shoulders and put their names down taking the bids higher and higher.
The person who got them on the last bid was thrilled, outing herself and jumping up and down.
