Lucky Raffle Day

So, we had our Spring Fair at T's school. The weather was beautiful, we had some great events (Zorb balls, sumo costumes, pony rides, bouncy castles and the list goes on), we had a wonderful turn-out and the PTO made some pretty good money for next year. All in all a great day. But, it gets even better (for me at least). . . .

At the Fair, we were having a raffle with some really great prizes, so I decided to buy a few tickets. I bought myself 11 tickets (buy 10 get one free). I was working in the Coca-Cola booth when I first heard my name called. I won a cake at the Hilton. Then a few mintues later, I heard my name again. This time, I won dinner for 4 at McD's + coffee. Then a little while later I heard my name AGAIN. This time I won a framed, signed illustration by a published illustrator who had visited our school. Finally, for the last prize, guess whose name they drew. Yes, that's right, I won again. And, this time, it was the IPAD 2 with a one-year free contract. Wow, Wow, Wow. I only bought 11 tickets. I am still in disbelief. Of course, I'm told the I-Pad isn't really mine. Apparently the boys are laying claim to it. We will see about that. . . .I guess I should practice what I preach and share. ;)
