Good Sunday morning, all! I hope your day is off to a good start. We’re having another mixed-up weather day in south-central Wisconsin: the weather man can’t make up his mind between snow showers and freezing rain. This has been the strangest winter I’ve seen in a long while; it feels more like March than January.
But enough about that – you didn’t come here to talk about the weather! Let’s dive on into:
Today’s Question(s):
What was the last pleasant surprise you experienced? I found $23 in ones and fives yesterday morning in a long sleeve shirt I haven't worn in a couple years!
Who or what caused that pleasant surprise?No real cause, it was one of my Pendleton shirts I haven't worn in a long time.
What was the last pleasant surprise you created for someone else? Bought some hardback books for one of my neighbors who's recovering from a hip replacement. She's a senior who lives by herself and barely making it financially so a few of us take turns feeding her animals, paying her visits, etc.
Bonus Question:
