Run for the Roses... and Raffles

After our lifelong career and dedication to journalism, hubby and I really hoped the horse named Journalism would win the Kentucky Derby this evening. But then again, do we actually have any $kin in the game? Nope. Not at all.

So we'll just take comfort in my Derby cookie (above) purchase – and several more items – a nice contribution at a few local fundraisers.

The only reason I was in raffle basket mode today was that I put one together yesterday for our friend Jeannie's cancer fundraiser at the end of May. I figured if I could win 1 or 2 today at other events, I could just pay it forward to her event. 

Those odds didn't pan out. But if anyone wants to contribute to a basket for her fundraiser, let me know. I already have the Faith Basket put together but have a few other themes (wine and chocolate or tea and books/puzzles) in mind.
