Silent auction.

My parents attended a silent auction to benefit the youth group of their church. They bought a chic-fil-a party for 35. It came with the following cutie patootie cow.

I think Dad might have gotten the party for 35 just so he could give the cow to me. We've exchanged stuffed animal gifts for years. Mom recently made him clean up around his bedside table and put away all but one or two. He had bunches of little snoopy dolls, woodstock dolls, a bunny, an M&M man, Pinocchio. The cow is now on the guest room bed. I have to put it up high enough that Scout won't eat it. So, come stay any time. Just be prepared to sleep with a cow promoting the consumption of chicken.
