Silent auction

Last night Marta and I went to a silent auction, a fundraiser for Alex's school. It was in a beautiful house on Sullivans Island. A classic oyster roast and appetizers where served accompanied with beer and wine.

Lot's of different items were available to bid on including 2 paintings that Alex's class had made. The reported value on the card said priceless. Marta quickly found out on which painting Alex had been involved in the making of. His hand is a crab on one off them.

Marta: I'm not leaving with out that painting

Jonas: OK honey, start bidding.

She watches this auction like a hawk and I got regular reports on the process. As I'm outside chucking oysters she comes running over to me.

Marta: I've taken care of it.

Jonas: What did you do?

Marta: I bid a lot of money, it is ours (she gives me a kiss).

Jonas: The auction is over?

Marta: No, but I doubt that anyone is out bidding me now.

With that said she went back inside, happy with herself. I just stood there for a minute trying to
decide whether I wanted to know how much she had bid or not.

As the auction ended the director of the school asked me, " Do you know how much your wife spent on the painting?" I answered her " No, I don't want to know either".

The painting is fantastic, signed by all involved and it is priceless.
