Sunday

huge success~



Yesterday was Donner's Bay Resort's second annual pig roast and customer appreciation day, up on the Turtle Flambeau Flowage.  This is the resort that Slim's grandparents built; but is now under the ownership of Jordan (aka. Porky) and Rozanne Rhey.  They had wonderful weather for the event and a fantastic turnout. 

Besides being a customer appreciation day ~ it was also a fund raiser to purchase an AED Defibrillator ... and I'm happy to report enough funds were generated. After talking with Porky this morning, he said it's getting ordered Monday!  Let's pray they never need to use the defibrillator ~ but at least it is going to be available now if needed and it could save a life!!

Plus...

Another bonus yesterday... they raffled off a gas grill with accessories ~ and guess who won!!! 
JD delivered it this morning ~ in the rain ~ thanks JD!

 I'm so excited!!! And so is Sam ~ because I'm giving him my old grill.  The poor dilapidated thing.  He's going to put some new racks in, pressure wash it and fix it up ... he say's it's good enough for him ... seeing as how I won't part with the new one.

It was truly a great time.  Spending it with family and friends who I haven't seen in awhile and reminiscing about a lot of good times spent together.

Until next time...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

  4. Lucky lucky girly, you are. I tried to sneak it from the deck when I left today, but it was too heavy for Mom and I to 'lift'. Just kidding. It sure will get plenty of use, as much as what you guys grill.
    Love that the fundraiser was a success. Sure with Bill would want to get out more...he just is not ready, I guess. Maybe when he retires, eh?
    Thanks for loaning me your sewing machine...I'm done with it already.
    BlessYa...good to see ya again...twice in one week, WoW!
