We were at a function out in Hermiston last night where we enjoyed a great potluck dinner with fried oysters, visiting and whatnot. This event always has a huge raffle at the end and just before the raffle, the electricity went out. There were no back-up lights, only candles on the tables which were there for decorative purposes. We couldn't leave because they had many awesome items on the raffle table including a big screen TV and an iPad. Who wouldn't want to win an iPad? Luckily, Gene had a baby flashlight in the glove box and although we didn't win a big screen or iPad, we did come home with a beautiful crocheted lap blanket and a homemade purple necklace & bracelet set.
TAKE AWAY: Keep a flashlight handy.
It could really pay off in more ways than one.
Congrats on winning items in the raffle! Now I need to double check and see if we put our flashlight in the vehicle we purchased in September...and make sure it has good batteries too!
