URS (United Rehabilitation Services) has had their weekend fling each year. There are tricky trays - food (really good food) - rummage sale - book sale - a bake sale (one lady donates some AWESOME baked goods, but they are gone in the blink of an eye; regular attendees wait for her to arrive each year.!!) and on Sun., an auction.<br /><br />When someone says an event will benefit children or the disabled, I am a willing participant.<br /><br />I work with 32 pre-schoolers every day and love my job.<br /><br />I also have a slightly handicapped son and a granddaughter born with the lower half of her left arm missing. It is amazing what she does one handed.<br /><br />Once again, TYVM and I will use it wisely.<br /><br />HAVE A GREAT EVENING EVERYONE.!!!Ruth C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16539443111358361579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-13908406608320760192009-04-30T23:26:00.000-04:002009-04-30T23:26:00.000-04:00LOL, Suz!

An early chance to get my hands on Treasures of Venice...whoa, I see a big auction bill coming...:)<br /><br />Suzanne, thanks for the meatloaf recipe. I love meatloaf! My Mom's is the best. It's all that baked ketchup on top and caramelized onions.<br /><br />Is there a lawn mower in the auction? I think I killed our brand new one tonight. I managed one strip down the middle of our side yard and then the engine sputtered, smoked, and died. I could tell my dh was trying not to laugh on the other end of the phone.

Jo, thanks for bringing Brenda to visit!<br /><br />Congratulations on the RITA nomination, Brenda, and huge kudos to you for doing such a marvelous job with your online auction.

Now for sure we'll have to redesignate the whoooo factor of our blog.<br /><br />Seriously, though, I think meatloaf is one of those dishes that you really want to know what's inside it before you eat it.

Yes...(AC waves back at Brenda and winks at Helen!)<br /><br />Yes, I too have donated a 30 page critique and would LURVE to see it go to a BB. And besides the fabulous Bandit Basket, I have a single autographed copy of The Wild Sight and an ARC of my Sept. release The Treasures of Venice, which I haven't even seen yet myself! ACK! I might have to bid on my own item! (just kidding)<br /><br />Speaking of romantic places... we were weren't we?!?! I have to say ROME! Yes, yes, I know my new release is set in Venice but there's just something about Rome. <br /><br />I also find Paris very romantic (though the graffiti bothered me on the last visit) and Maui....
