I cant believe it has been at least 5 days since I have even thought about posting something on here!  Time goes by way too fast when you are having fun:)  Well here is what I have been having fun doing.  We had a silent auction/spaghetti feed for my dad this last Wednesday at the Knights of Columbus in our town.  He was diagnosed with Lymphoma in August of 2011.  We ended up having just under 200 items for the silent auction.  The businesses and individual parties in our town were very generous with all of their donations.  It was great to see how supportive a community can be.  It is estimated that we had about 450 people come through the door to get a plate of spaghetti and to check out all of the items.  Overall it was a great turnout and proceeds will be partially matched by Thrivent.  Thank you to everyone who helped out with this event, your support is greatly appreciated.

Here are just a few of the items that were part of the silent auction
