By definition, that means once upon a time you grew accustomed to a man around the house.вЂќ No one can know IвЂ™m the one who bought Des.вЂќ When Abby hesitated, Molly added, вЂњWho would think twice about a single woman buying a home repair?вЂќД¬innamon-colored eyes assumed a decidedly puppy dog expression. First is a home repair of your choice donated by Des OвЂ™Donnell of OвЂ™Donnell Construction.вЂќДЄbby felt an elbow in her ribs and looked at Molly. WeвЂ™re almost finished for tonight and I want to make this the most successful event ever.вЂќДЄfter the applause died down, he said, вЂњOkay.

But you all know the foundation channels money to all of Charity CityвЂ™s worthy causes, and those funds have to come from somewhere. The mayor laughed along with the rest of the audience. вЂњNo, youвЂ™ve been reminding us of that for weeks,вЂќ someone called out. I donвЂ™t have to tell you this is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Buy-A-Guy auction.вЂќ He took the responsibility of carrying on this charitable tradition very seriously. Tall, distinguished and gray-haired, he was a descendant of the townвЂ™s founding family who had initiated the first auction. On the stage, Mayor Baxter Wentworth was playing auctioneer. The Charity City Community Center was the only place in town large enough to house the event, and rows of folding chairs filled the expanse of floor space. Her parents, Louise and Roy Gibson, had come instead. Molly Preston was on her right, but Jamie Gibson couldnвЂ™t make it tonight. Normally she attended the annual auctions with her two best girlfriends. SheвЂ™d rather be alone than need a man for anything. She had no illusions about a perfect guy for herself. She could give back to the town and get the perfect guy-for the weekend. So the auction was the answer to her problem. Abby knew if she were in charge of camping, it would be life and death for real. Badges were involved and apparently came under the heading вЂњlife and deathвЂќ for her six-year-old. Her daughter had recently become involved with a group promoting girlsвЂ™ outdoor activities. The specifics of the sale had been listed ahead of time on the townвЂ™s Web site and Abby was waiting for the guy whoвЂ™d donated a survival weekend. Most of the guys were donating their time and skills to be auctioned because theyвЂ™d received grants from the town for their businesses or projects. Tonight was the menвЂ™s turn and bachelorhood wasnвЂ™t a prerequisite, which was just peachy with Abby. The womenвЂ™s-Sell-A-Belle-was held in the spring. Charity City was more creative with its semiannual events. Many towns held bachelor auctions to raise money.
