Yes, I am. Just a weird night for me here. I just don't feel quite settled and can't pinpoint what's going on.
I love, love, love this time of year and can't wait for the Hoedown, but this auction has been so much work. I want to make sure all people who have donated are recognized, bidding sheets are printed, items sorted, blah blah blah!! I am so glad we have chosen to have the auction and I have met some amazing people through the process but I am tired! And I guess that's what it is. We are cleaning, building fire pits, spreading hay in the barn, piling firewood, making posters, unbending hangers (for marshmellows), making grocery lists, writing thank you's and on and on.
Oh and guess what?!!! My husband will be so glad I am telling you this- we have an electrician coming out tomorrow morning to fix a major mess-up. While pulling the trailer FULL of firewood yesterday, dear hubby ran over a heavy duty wire (out of the ground but not dangerous and should have been buried long ago). The wire got stuck on the trailer and well....noone noticed until it was too late. Now part of the wire that was buried, is no longer. The wire began pulling away from the breaker box inside our extra garage and started bending some of the siding on the outside. I think maybe deep down he did it on purpose so that he could go ahead and have the garage (his shop) rewired. That was on the "To Do One Day" list. I guess that day is now tomorrow. I love you, honey!!
So, I guess what everyone needs around here are prayers. Prayers mainly to get through this next week without Mom (me) completely going off the deep end which for some reason my family thinks I do from time to time.
Also, I need some feedback about exactly how to use the money we raise. Please, leave me a comment (or email/call me) and let me know what you think the best choice is-
1. Give all money directly to Reece's Rainbow to go toward the operating budget.
2. Give all money to an RR family already in the process of adopting a special angel.
3. Give all money to a particular child in hopes that his/her family will come forward.
Prayerfully consider these 3 options and let me know what you think. I pray you all have a restful night and wonderful new week.
Amazed by His grace,
E

Hi Elisabeth,
It was so nice to meet you (briefly) yesterday in church. I can only imagine how much work you have put into the preparations for Saturday's big festivities! I would be a mess. You are doing such a wonderful thing. My vote goes to #1 -- give everything to RR and let them divy it up how they see fit; that way everyone benefits.
Take care,
Audrey
