This is the auction crew, just so you know them- live and in-action at the estate auction in Warsaw today. Long auction- 6:30 am set up to finishing up around 4ish....beautiful old Victorian house, built in 1892 (so it's late Victorian, but still). We ended up with a new table and chairs that fit our kitchen (even though the mahogany one is lovely, it is just to big), a wardrobe, and tons of other stuff... including a video of Charles on a pogo stick that I promise to post soon! (it's short, but stunning)
In the picture, left to right, front of dresser is Jenny and Lonnie. Behind is Robin, Ada, Charles (isn't he cute?!?) and Jason. Tiny in the back is Doug and Judy (one of many Judy's.... snack stand is also run by a Judy, and one of the regulars is Judy...) Heaps of Judy's.
And now, what you have been waiting for: the date. We will be getting married on December 12 at 4:00 pm. at the Auction house. We figured that it is the second time around for both of us, so why not make it fun? It's very casual- *everyone* is invited, come as you are, dress for a small-town auction. No worries, no fuss. We will have cake, and it's the Christmas auction so there will be soup and the like as well. Just simple fun and everyone is invited. Grendel will give me away (or sell me to the highest bidder...which had better be Charles and not Doc) (no offense intended Doc- but you do like to run a bid!) We will be honeymooning at home in our little cottage (Grendel, you must go to Kyle's for the night. And NO to all my students who want to camp out at our house). So don't expect a big white dress, sparkly everything and bubbly-- expect a really good time with real people and good friends, maybe a bargain or two. Hope to see you there!!!!
