Master of the Silent Auction

We left on Tuesday morning for an ag conference in London. Pete attended all (LOL) the meetings and I enjoyed the cooking shows on TV. They had given away our reserved room and so we had to make do with a two room suite on the executive floor of the London Hilton. To get there we had to insert our room key in the slot in the elevator. All this preamble means we didn't have any late night visitors because they couldn't get to us. Last night was the best time as we participated in a silent auction. Lots of appetizers and free pop. The proceeds from the silent auction are used to fund six $2,000.00 bursaries for students studying agriculture. This meant that I could spend Pete's money so I felt FREE. I went home with everything I bid on. I stayed right by each item and made sure that my name was the last one on the list. Heidi thought she might like to play with the iPod touch and since we have become so technologically Illiterate, we are sending it to California tomorrow. Can you imagine - only two more sleeps to date night. This has been a tough week.
