Guns,Goats,and White Castles…
Apparently in Delaware you have the option as a resident there to attend auctions. Recently Joy and I were taken to one by our friends. This was an experience that I shalt not forget for quite a while. The auction was put on by the local christian school. Some observations are as follows…
1. Pies will sell for over $280.00…
2. Authentic quilts made by little old women will sell for hundreds of dollars…
3. Each grade level creates a “package” to auction. Some classes create huge baskets filled with candy, some with exercise equipment, others with OSU gear. My favorite though was the 7th grade class that created a “Shooter’s” basket complete with free rounds of ammo, free hunting gear, and passes to the local gun range.
4. Parents are ruthless when it comes to bidding on seats for the front row of their children’s graduation. Even if there are only 30 kids in the graduating class.
5. It is the only place I have ever seen where you can put in a bid for a years supply of White Castle’s and right next to it bid on 20 tons of limestone.
6. I placed a bid for a goat. $41.00…but Joy scratched out my bid and it went for $40.00. Her reasoning: “We don’t have any reason to own a live goat.”
whateva.

And THAT is why God gives men wives. Because otherwise you would end up with goats and who knows what else that you have no idea what to do with! lol

what? i don’t no one person who shouldn’t have the oppertunity to own a goat. it would have been a smart buy. gas is through the roof and this would have helped b/c you wouldn’t have to buy gas for the mower now. it all makes sense.

You could have used the goat as a trial run for a kid …they at least don’t talk back and it would have mowed the grass without asking for money.

you NEED a goat.
It’s a lawnmower.
A secret admirer.
A mammal.
A good secret keeper.
A goat.
Joy needs to go buy you a goat right now.
