Larry and Diane
We recently went to a fundraiser auction for Peder's school. It was at a beautiful new location off of White Rock Lake (The Filter Building). It was a nice evening spent with other parents and our dear friends (and Peder and Caroline's godparents!), Larry and Diane. Thanks for joining us again guys! We bid on (and won) a few items in the silent auction (gift cards, etc.), but I am always so impressed by how high in price some things went for, especially the class gifts. Parents and grandparents were digging deep in their pockets for personalized class quilts, game chests (Peder's class), custom-made pottery and glassware that the kids had been involved in creating. It was especially fun seeing friendly bidding wars ensue between two sets of parents.
One event that was up for bid was an evening and dinner with a group of your friends, hosted by a local country/Christian musician at her and her husband's ranch. Bidding was going on and on and finally the singer's husband stood up and announced that they would extend it to be an overnight event hosted by them. It was so fun seeing such enthusiasm. I think the bidding stopped just under $2000. (!)
