Awake: 5:11am Temp 37 Clear---then rain Overnight @ Nicktown
Kathy leaves for Indiana @ 8:30am to help Melissa with the Foote laundry &
do some grocery shopping for them. During her time in Indiana, I talk with
my brother about our pending Ohio visit for our uncle’s funeral & then
spend some time on our computer & other time consuming things. Kathy
returns @ 4:05 with the report that all went well.
K & I attend 6:00pm Mass. Heavy rain & strong winds accompanied our short
walk from the car to church which was very crowded. Afterward, we drive to
the church hall for the “Cash Bonanza” night. For $30.00, we have an all
you can eat dinner, all you can drink beer, DJ music with dancing & a
chance to win one of 15 money prizes. We are joined at our table by some
of our coffee club members.
The way this “Cash Bonanza” system works: only 200 tickets are sold & the
ticket halves are put into a large squirrel cage which is turned each time
after a ticket is lifted out to call either a loser or winner. Names are
called along with their number & every 25th ticket drawn wins $30.00.
Being called last is best as the remaining countdown from 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
wins $30.00…..50.00….100.00…..200.00…..500.00….& the last ticket & name
called wins $1,000.00. Kathy & I were # 6 to be called & we won $30.00.
How about that! It paid for our ticket. The food was great, the beer…so-so
& the music, way too loud, but the people made it fun. Back to our bus @
9:30pm.
High today: 42 Lights out: 11:32pm
