I attended the hottest event in town!!!!

It is true.  The internet and social circles around are buzzing with the details of the wonderful evening:  The Gaudete Benefit Gala.

I didn't want any of MY readers to think I hadn't attended and that I was a social DUD.

Nobody knew but the event was put on by the best friends in the whole world just for me.  Okay, not just for me, really to raise money for the music department at St. Francis de Sales Oratory in St. Louis, MO.

The truth is this:   Two of the cutest and most talented gentlemen in the whole wide world did perform at this event just for me!

Sorry, it is a little out of focus.
Even my camera got a little teary eyed!
Exquisite!

Here is the other handsome fellow that sang for me.

I bought this fine fellow at the silent auction.
Mother Crab, do you really think they would have this item at Sotheby's?
I get him for a whole day!

I will be one of those people I said I never would be:  with my sleeping bag, cooler, camped out waiting to get my hands on a ticket next year!

Oh, don't anyone tell Mr. Peanut about all of this.

Reunited with an old flame!!!

I know it sounds a little nutty but it is true.

I loved him so much when I was young.

My dad introduced us, even approved and liked him, too.

But alas, someone stole him away from me.

Maybe it was because I used him too often.

I would reminisce about him from time to time wondering whatever became of him.

Then one cold winter morning, it happened  . . . .

My breathe was taken away!

There he was again, discarded and lonely living in a box!

An old flame still burns brightly . . . . . .

I promise I will never use you again!

Mr. Peanut, I love you so much!!!!
