On the calendar, it says July 4th is Independence Day. To me, every day is a day to celebrate our independence and freedom.

There’s no doubt it’s been a crappy year, even though it looks like things are starting to look up. We’ve all been battered by a microorganism we can’t even see. Businesses have shut down, people have lost jobs, we’ve all been isolated from loved ones…and so on. Pretty rough, huh?

Yeah, I know, Spring is staring us in the face, and we’re coming out of a long dark winter full of isolation, social distancing and Covid 19. But this winter story bears revisiting. It’s full of inspiration, ingenuity and just plain fun.
