AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Young


Monday night, my honey and I attended the fundraiser auction for the Cedar Mountain Community Center Scholarship Fund. The silent auction had gobs of cool things. There was something for everyone including me. I bid on and won a manicure at a local salon. I thought it fitting to do my nails up right before our wedding next month.


An open auction preceded the announcement of winners of the silent auction. There were many worthy contributions to the open auction as well. David Brown donated several of his wood creations including a table with a sourwood top. His creations are always a hit.
