Now, That's Just Rude

I was going to post last night and decided to wait until today. I click over to my blog and, lo and behold -- I've been blogjacked! I should take her up on the offer and just let her continue to post for me, but I'm afraid of what she'll say ....

Had a blast this past weekend. Went with Duh & Happy to work a charity "Wild West" event to benefit the Center for Individual Development in San Bernardino. Happy runs the Wheel of Fortune, while Duh and I helped out in the saloon. I had worked one weekend last year, but due to a broken tooth - it wasn't as much fun as it could have been. This past weekend, though, was great. Saturday was kind of slow -- not many people were there, and we didn't have a lot of customers for either the saloon or the Wheel. Yesterday, though, there were a lot more people, the weather was a bit warmer, and they had the Chili Cook-off, so people were thirstier. We sold over $1200 in beer (at $4/per), and then we also had wine, sodas and water.

Everyone seemed to be in really good moods, too ... both the volunteers and the customers. I even had an "admirer" ... even after he found out that I have a full-grown son. It was flattering, if nothing else. And it was fun to flirt with all the cowboys ... But my favorite "scene" of the weekend was on Saturday, right near the end of the day. The stagecoach was approaching the saloon, and the driver was cradling his sleeping baby in his arms. Absolutely adorable. And of course, I didn't have the camera handy. So ... today's pictures are from Saturday ... the stagecoach, and 3 of the bartenders.

Sounds like you had a great time indeed. Did you get to try any of the chi-li at the coo-koff? (Heh heh--verification word is "manicr." Yeah, that's me all right!)
