We cleaned up and put on our social faces last night for the annual St. Bernards Development Foundation Triple Swing Dinner and Dance.
The event is an element of a three-day fund raiser for the foundation and the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House here in Jonesboro and it always features a great buffet dinner (huge tenderized steaks this year), free adult beverages, a silent auction, a regular auction, doorprize drawings and an excellent band. There was also a raffle for a shotgun since this is, after all, Arkansas hunting country.
Maria was the successful bidder on a small painting in the silent auction, but we didn’t win anything spectacular.
It was great fun, but I worried a bit about the dogs since there was a tornado warning out for the area and it was storming. Pete gets all freaked out by lightning and thunder and we had left them out in the fenced back yard – with dog door access to the screened porch – in the belief that there would be no storms. Of course, they were fine and glad to see us when we got home.
I dumped another .2 inches of water from the rain gauge this morning. That’s 3.1 inches in two days. I was keen to get out on the mower this morning before it heats up, but the grass is too wet to cut.
