Look what Elaine got in the mail today. The notification of a contest by a car dealer in Columbus, NE with a "scratch off" which matches the "winner". No, we are not going to Columbus Monday to claim our prize like Woody Grant did in "Nebraska". But, having just seen the movie the other night makes one sensitive to how these "come on's" mislead people. They plainly say: "If your symbols match, you've won! Go online now to pick the Grand Prize you want...His and Her Vehicles or $100,000 Cash!" They even sent along an ignition key for the vehicle. Woody didn't get the Million Dollars that he thought he won, in fact he didn't even get the Screen Actors Guild Award tonight for which he was nominated. But we were winners!!!. I had the key they sent in my pocket this afternoon when we went out to see Julie and Sadie. Sadie always checks out my pockets and found the key. She sat on my lap playing with the key and had a big time with it. I probably got more enjoyment being with her and hearing her say more new words than I would have in winning a new truck. Most old men don't need a new truck but we all savor the enjoyment that only a Great Granddaughter can provide.
