I bought $10.00 worth of raffle tickets at my mom's Nursing Home today.
All the money they collect for this goes to the old folks for their day trips and anything that else is needed in their center.
The cutest little old man was sitting there distributing the tickets and collecting the money. He must have been in his mid to late 80's. A gentle old soul that you just wanted to give a big hug to.
I asked him when the drawing is and he said in his little shakey voice that he didn't know and gave a little embarassed chuckle. I laughed along with him and said that's ok, I'm sure it's a long time away right?
The prize is a 26" flat screen tv. I don't need nor want the tv, my plan is to donate it to one of the old folks if I win it.
Gotta love some of these little darlin's...
