What a nice surprise! We got to play— and win! We loved getting that call from you about winning one of the prize packages in this year’s Sweetheart Sweepstakes. Thank you and all the businesses and individuals contributing prizes— some of which we get to enjoy this year for ourselves— for this fun event.
We look forward to this each year. To us it’s like a reverse scavenger hunt, where we deposit something instead of find something. We prep the coupons on the page with our address labels and phone number. We then cut them out, work out a driving route, stack the coupons in that order and go.
I drive and Jackie delivers. We talk about each place as we go. If parking is a problem, I just drive around the block while she deposits the coupon. Closed businesses meant coupon delivery later in the week.
We met some nice people along the way and saw places new to us. Now that we have been introduced, we already know some new spots to visit in our neighborhood— thanks to you. Again, what a nice surprise— a great way to start the new year.
