With friends like mine ....... on Wed took small plain-jane white/red cooler down to pavilion.
It was filled with COLD bottles of water to share with whomever was in need.
No good deed goes unpunished ... cooler comes up missing!
Figured someone mistakenly hauled mine back to their campsite, instead of their own. But couldn't find an orphaned cooler. That should have been hint!
No big deal .. cheap cooler and lotsa more fun things going on.
Fast forward to Sat night's auction.
Before auction begins, Keith (auctioneer) announces to all gathered that there will be a "special" auction done first. Marley (Dave's daughter) prances out with this gaudy lil cooler in hand!
Bidding commenced. $5, $10, (I still was not comprehending), $50, $100. $100!!
Now understand what happened to my cooler!!!
$250, $500. Bids kept coming! $1000. I had to have my cooler back. $1200 bid escaped my lips. APPLAUSE!!
I HAVE COOLER BACK and it's no longer plain-jane! Pink and red with rows of shiny rhinestones! Also have record bid at MoJam auction.
Lucky to have some cool cool friends!
