It’s true when they say “You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.”

Today is Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen. For every Blizzard that is sold today, one dollar is donated to the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Because I work at a CMN hospital, and because I care for and love these children who are most in need of miracles, this is a cause [...]
