Silent Auction

Another couple of cold, rainy days (you can stop playing the worlds smallest violin) where we hid in the trailer or did errands where we could be inside.

I had promised Ed a steak dinner for his birthday, so Thursday evening we headed off to the Outback Steakhouse --- we haven't eaten at one in years. It was very good and my prime rib was $5 less than the price indicated on the online Canadian Outback menu. Think we'll do the fancy dinners out in the US from now on.

Friday was "dues day" as well as the silent auction at the park. The activities are arranged and run by "the club" which are the people staying at the park. In order to help offset costs like coffee for Saturday morning coffee, paper for weekly calendars, etc. you are asked to pay a $3.00 per person due for the season. Some of the club members do an incredible amount of work for nothing. They decided to have a silent auction to raise money for the club. People donated unwanted items and other people bought them. Ed bought another remote control ---- I think we must have 20 by now but he says we need them all.
