Saying Hello Through a Snow Shovel

Mother Nature has not been nice to us this winter.  We have seen frigid below-zero temperatures, snow storms that drop several inches of snow in a short amount of time, and high-speed winds that chap the lips and burn the face on impact.  Quite frankly, this winter has been miserable.

We are Blessed with Things to Give

Day 23: Lottery Ticket

Day 23 was all about the lottery ticket.  We spent the day giving out $1 lottery tickets to complete strangers.
