Steak & Stein / Auction

I want to thank everyone whom helped the auction. This would not have been possible without all the companies that donated all the items to be auctioned off and the help from family and friends getting thoses items and helping at the auction. Together we were able to raise $1421.00 for Habitat for Humanity. Great Job!! Thank you all! I did't get any pictures so if anyone else did it would be greatly appreciated if you could send them to me for my Blog.

Crack Fill Dust!!



When walking into the house this evening everything was covered in white dust. The crack fill and sanding was done. Now to clean up the mess. I was so glad that I had my two good friends Angela Ross and Sonya St.Coeur there to help with this dusty task. It was a lot of work we still managed to have a lot of fun though. Thank you so much for all your help. We were there till Midnight. However, I am sure I would have been there all night without your help. Thank you for being such great friends.
