The raffle ticket window closes at the end of the day today. On ATP time, that means 7:00pm CT is your last chance to buy tickets.

I'm going to need some serious good luck

Optimism, Hetty!

Put Little Man online again, Dave, please. After his nap today will be fine.

I'm wondering what his favorite cookie is - I could bake some and overnight them

No fair, Vic. You know it's too hot here to turn the oven on.

I hear you on that. 97 here with heat index of 108 and nice balmy HOT breeze

I have a little convection oven, I could use that - doesn't put off much heat

Thanks for the heads-up, Dave!

Who cuts up all those little pieces of paper to draw from?

Now that is a big job...

Historically I do. But now that there are so many tickets, I admit that I am considering writing a random-ticket-drawing script to do it on the computer so that I don't have to print out all that paper. The only downside to that is it is a lot less fun...

How about the kiddos? Or how about giving everyone a number and have the kiddos choose a number between 1 and 1300+++

But I sure would understand. A random electronic thingy would do the job in a hurry.

Am sure it would be fine any way you choose to do it.

Thanks for all that you do on the site, this is just a little part of that, and I hope it is one you really enjoy.

oh no - Little Man doesn't get to do it? Sharon, there goes your well-crafted ploy No way to influence that computer!!

That's the thing: I want LM to do the drawing. So how to do both is the trick that I've been wondering how to accomplish. We'll probably stick with paper tickets for now.

And video.???????.. You know how we love pictures...

Just video him pushing the button for the auto draw thingy

Yeah! You could video Dad and Mom telling LM what he needs to do.

A lot of paper to waste.... in my opinion, although I am sure it will get composted.

I think you should do what is easiest for you Dave and family - as long as we get our LM fix

Wrong thread but any new photo's of the little you can share?

No new photos lately. I need to get the camera out! We'll have video tomorrow.
