Good use of time

It seems like time just slides between my fingers like fresh spaghetti. One of my friends from church made the remark that I must eat out every day, and yes, this is very true. One of the other ladies said it was! A person's gotta eat, right?

In fact, I did so Saturday. Debbie and I went up to Great Hang Up where she found several art pieces which would work in her home. She is trying to coordinate with a painting they got in a silent auction and did find a couple that fit the bill. We arranged for Dee to come by on Friday morning to size up the space and give her recommendations. She has to come here anyway to match the matte on Timmy's framed hug, so she may as well take care of us both!

Debbie and I went next door to Saigon-Tokyo (Koko's!) for lunch, my second visit in as many days. Justin almost came along with us just to enjoy the dining, but then decided to stay home to continue working in his room and the one across the hall. Wise choice! Likely he will enjoy my leftovers anyway. Our meal was wonderful, as was our time together. Debbie met two young men who were dining by themselves at our table, 12 and 13 years old. She runs the Teen Court in Clay County and is always looking for young folks to get involved. We liked the looks of these two guys, and she gave them her card so their parents can call her for more info.

Saturday was a fund-raiser event at Victory. There was a spaghetti dinner, a silent auction, and trivia played for entertainment. In the e-mail which came on Friday it said to bring items to put in the auction. Oh oh....Terri T., with whom I had breakfast at Grumpy's Saturday, suggested I donate a painting. What a great idea! In fact, I took two.

Anne H. ended up winning both of the paintings and I am flattered she liked them well enough to take them home. Not sure how much money was raised from my donation but about $4000 was made by our small in number group. Thanks be to God! The funds go to help with the expenses experienced by the son of one of their members who is in need of a heart and lung transplant. Glad to be able to help and have a great time while doing so!
