Ladies Free Breakfast & Dessert Auction

This was a busy day at the recreation center at the park and it started off early with a free breakfast for the ladies.  They do this once a season and it's called Ladies Appreciation Day. We guys had to pay full price for the breakfast so it was like getting it 1/2 price for the two of us.  We enjoyed the breakfast and the chatting with fellow guests and then went back to the motorhome to get some chores finished.

I managed to spend a couple hours on a number of small tasks and finally took a break and finished reading a book that I had started a couple days ago.  It was a mystery and kept my interest all the way to the end.  600 pages of excitement and it wasn't easy to figure out what was going on.  I like the ones that aren't obvious.

Gerry baked a banana-pineapple bread for the auction and we bought a blueberry cheesecake pie as our contribution.  Everyone kept bringing over pieces of the dessert they had purchased and shared them with us.  I couldn't finish all the dessert and we brought it home with us. 

Last year they auctioned off a date with Carl, but this year you only got him to wash your dishes one night.  The high bidder said they were going to save up their dishes for a week in order to get his money's worth.   Good luck on that.  

It was a good night for the auction and over $750 was raised for the year-end party.  Everyone had fun and Dick the auctioneer kept up with great banter and the auction went very smoothly.  Job well done.

It was t-shirt and shorts weather here today and it was most welcome after all those cold days.  The weather forecast for the next week is more of the same.
