Kate's Big Win!

I was going through photos and figured it was time to post Kate's Big Win!  After Seth passed there was a fund riser held and we donated a raffle item...day on the Isle of Capri.  The winner could invite 20 of their family and friends for the day...breakfast at the house and dinner on the island...steak and lobster with all the fixin's...and it was to be served to the winners by our family...we were to wait on them hand and foot!

Lo and behold Kate won!  One of Seth's closest friends...actually Seth was best man for Adam, Kate's husband at their wedding.  None of us could believe she won...we all jumped for joy that evening.

Kate chose a day in August and we geared up for the day...we reported for duty and Kate and her chosen group arrived.

I must admit...we did very little waiting on hand and foot...this crowd wouldn't hear of it and they pitched in and what a great day we had.

Below are photos of the day...

A wonderful day....I am so pleased Kate won...we all had a day to remember!  I have gotten to know Kate over the months now and have grown to love her...through this tragedy Kate has been a gift I never expected in my life...I have been blessed.
