Whew! Where did it all go? Let's see... If I could go back in time, I would show you the Canine Cancer Walk that my Golden Retriever Meetup Group participated it. It had been raining all week up until Saturday morning, when the walk took place. I had helped to organize the team, and rally the troops, but because of prior commitments, I couldn't actually do the walk myself - I made a donation and participated as a "virtual" walker instead. I was tickled to see so many of our members did show up though, and our team raised an incredible $3440. Thank you to all of you who donated - Golden owners or not, you all have golden hearts. (xoxo to you Doug!)
Our Saturday was filled with work, fun with Dad, and some quality family and dog time. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned that my Pops is a card shark, but let me tell you, he plays a mean game of cribbage, spades, and Up the River-Down the River, to name a few. We had a fun evening and a lot of laughs.
So...guess what we did yesterday! Thank goodness Hubby was off for the President's Day holiday. I got ahold of the seller, found out what time he was available for us to come by his house, plugged his address into the GPS, and off we went. What a fun little adventure. We got to the gentleman's very swank house, and waited for him to get there. (We were a few minutes early.) Once he got there, he welcomed us in, and I drooled looked around a bit, while he got our item. It was exactly what I wanted, and looked even cooler in real life than in the pictures. I'd already paid for it via paypal, so I didn't have to worry about that, so we chatted for a minute and I told him what we would be using it for. He got a kick out of our idea, and then told me about a couple of other items he had that we might be interested in. He showed us the other items, and OF COURSE I was interested, he had awesome stuff, and exactly the kind of items I've been searching for. Then I got nervous curious about the prices...I mean seriously, these were some really nice things. Big, heavy stuff, almost like you'd find in a museum. He pointed to the first one, and he said, "If you like that, I'll give it to you for $10." WOW! Needless to say, I bought all of the other items he showed me, and I felt almost like I'd hit the lotto. SWEEEET! What a great way to really kick off my Halloween prop hunting.
