Minnesota has spaghetti feeds. California has crab feeds. The end of February was the annual crab feed, which is the largest fundraiser for Little Miss J's school. Last year we attended as guests. This year as a parent, not only did I attend, I made baskets for the silent auction and helped set up the venue. Oh and Gus made a cheesecake for the dessert auction. Gotta get those parent hours!

After all that hard work, we had a blast at the event. We managed to get a number of people from our group to attend and even were able to bring Gus's parents.

The auction was fun, There is a point when it becomes more about winning than about how much you are actually bidding, and there was a time when after a few glasses of wine winning was important. But as they say, moderation is the mark of maturity and even after the jeroboam of wine and the provocation and peer pressure of a certain dad, I managed to restrain myself from continuing to bid on an item. We did win three bottles of wine from our favorite vineyard - and yes, we could just drive to Napa and buy it, but it was for a good cause.

We escaped only $70 poorer and certainly infinitely richer in the good times with great friends! It was a great event for a great cause!
