Anybody looking to put the final touches on their collection of Jimmy Carter memorabilia will have the chance at the end of the month, when all things Jimmy will be put up for auction.
Anybody looking to put the final touches on their collection of Jimmy Carter memorabilia will have the chance at the end of the month, when all things Jimmy will be put up for auction.
The auction is a long-running tradition and this year will be held in Port St. Lucie, Fla., on Feb. 27. The proceeds benefit the Carter Center, but the auction itself provides insight into how the former president spends his free time, more than anything else.
Carter's artwork, for instance, is a bestseller. One of his original paintings sold for last year for $100,000, the highest bid of the auction. Original artwork and "rare prints" from the former president are on the auction block this year, ranging in price from $100 to an even $100,000.
One of Carter's "homemade, private-label" wine bottles will be available for $1,000, as will a $10,000 fly-fishing trip with the Carters at Georgia's Brigadoon Lodge. They are among nearly 180 items up for purchase.

At first glance I mistakenly thought he was auctioning off his daughter Amy.
The “H” is missing
“Billy Carter’s urine used to sell for $1.99 a six-pack.”

I bought a 6-pack of that stuff back in the day to save but some friends ran out on a Sunday (no liquor sales) so they downed it. Good times.

Ohhhhh. I don’t recall hearing much about her at all. I just remember that the Southern Baptist Convention said to vote for her Daddy, per our preacher. I am no longer a practicing Baptist.
Billy would approve of that act.
That’s it!!!!
