Three Feet of Snow and a Very Kind Neighbor
It's no secret that we've had some pretty crazy weather in the Maryland area this past winter. We had 15 inches of snow during one month followed by 28 more inches. Whenever it snowed like that, I packed my things up and stayed at my mom's house, both to help her with shoveling and for the ease of getting my car out of the driveway to get to work rather than attempting it from my mountain side driveway.

With the left over Valentine Cards I'm picked some random women out of the phone book and mailed them the cards along with Smile Cards (got the idea from the Phonebook Tagging article here on HelpOthers).
What woman doesn't want an extra Valentine on Valentine's day?
