This year's Mennonite Country Auction is coming NEXT Saturday, October 4th!
Cold winter days are coming too! This is one of several gorgeous afghans that will be auctioned Saturday at noon. Held at the Menno Mennonite Church grounds, this 57x90 afghan or any of the others would be perfect for wrapping up in with a cup of hot chocolate on one of those chilly evenings.
This morning we drove down to Menno for church. I debated briefly about not going as I was VERY tired after my travels of the last few days, but we definitely wanted to make sure we took down the rest of the coins we have been collecting all year for Penny Power. This year the Mennonite kids' project all over the country is to raise funds to build or re-build house destroyed by typhoons in the Philippines. Judging from the heaping buckets the kids collected today (I think everyone else had saved their year's stash for today also), the "match" of ten percent that we were lucky enough to win today could be a considerable amount...
We got home in time to watch the last Mariners game of 2014. It was a great game that they won 4-1, but unfortunately Oakland won their game in Texas and took the last Wild Card slot. Felix pitched a great 5 1/3 innings and got a standing ovation when he left the field. In fact, the whole team got lots of cheers when the game was over. They've had a great season. Can't wait for Spring Training!
