Aunt Kay, You Won!

It was a hard job, but somebody had to do it. Okay, for you and me it would not have been a big deal. For him it was, but we'll get back to that.
It started with my sis taking a trip to visit family. A baby had been born a few months ago, and Leah was heading down to give that baby enough smooches to make up for the fact that us up north folk haven't seen her yet. Baby's mommy, among the many other jobs she has, is a PartyLite consultant. She has been for twelve years and is very good at what she does. Sometimes she shares! Needless to say, Leah came back with a little bag of goodies for Greene Acres.
So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, the idea for an impromptu giveaway popped up. Aunt Kay won! How convenient. Aunt Kay just happened to be up for the holiday! Let me tell you, she deserved it. With help from her and Uncle Bob, the chairs and tables were cleaned and set up, the taters were peeled and cooked, and the stuffing was, well, stuffed. They even helped serve it all up.
Today, Micah got to be the big man in charge. We used the good ol', tried and true, names-in-the- hat routine. He enjoyed the challenge. As I watched him try again and again to grasp one of the folded pieces of paper, I couldn't help but admire his tenacity. I think I'd have said, "Forget it!" He grinned in triumph as he finally pulled out a name: Aunt Kay. I told Micah he did a great job, and, as any good mother would do, tossed it back in for him to try again. Hey, I had to be sure of our winner, plus it was good exercise for Micah. Wouldn't you know he drew her name again. I guess you were meant to win, Aunt Kay!
