Odds Might be Against Me


But I spent several minutes on 5 Minutes For Mom entering my name in their Mother’s Day Giveaways anyway.

Low odds, maybe. I guess it’s just the thought of winning. Brings me back to the first thing I ever won, way back in the early 80s at a church raffle.

I even wrote about it in my diary. Such was the excitement surrounding this raffle. 

Results?

Did not win phone.

Did not win fancy clock radio. 

Did guess the exact amount of jelly beans in the jar and won one of these:
