On Friday night we attended the "A Chair Affair" fundraising event for the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester. My boss's wife is a member of the board for the organization and he was nice enough to give two tickets for Annah and I to attend the dinner and auction.
Each ticket cost $75 and it was nice to socialize with other people from the community, see some interesting works of art, and eat some delicious food which I believe was catered by the Canadian Honker. We were lucky enough to "win" the tropical flower centerpiece (see the picture on the right) at our table for a ten dollar donation. We had a good time but ended up leaving before the live auction concluded at nine since it seemed like it was going to last for another couple of hours. It was a fun event and I am glad that Annah and I were able to attend.
On Saturday we went and looked at an apartment at Quarry Ridge Apartments and it was nice to start looking, although I don't think that we will be getting an apartment at least for a few more months, but it was fun. We then went shopping at the Good Food Store, where we were looking for bulk alfalfa seeds, which we were not able to find, but we were able to find some goodies there. We also went shopping at the Asian Food Store on Broadway where we bought some bean sprouts, canned rambutan, canned mangosteen, canned lychee, and hibiscus flower nectar. I always love trying new things and Annah does too if they aren't too strange! We also took my (parent's) dog for a walk behind Mayo, which was fun. We then watched an episode of House, M.D., since we missed a few episodes when they were on.
Sunday we took Lucy for another walk, but this time it was at Quarry Hill and it was so nice to get outside and go for a long walk/hike with my love and with my dog. We also went to Fish & Pets where Annah purchased a new blue beta fish with her gift card that she got for her birthday. After that we had dinner at my house with my sister, twin nieces, and great aunt. It was fun. We also watched a little bit of The Oscars before Annah had to head back to Austin.
It was indeed another great weekend and we hope for many more in the future!
Another Great Weekend!
