Something Sad and Something Funny

A 30-something-year-old New Jersey woman who fraudulently collected money on GoFundMe was sentenced to three years in prison this week. She and her then-boyfriend said they were collecting money for a homeless veteran, but despite raising more than $400,000, they didn't give any of it to the man. 

It's a shocking and disappointing story, but it had a funny twist in our home this week. I was reading the article to Daryl, and after I got to this part: "They eventually determined that all of the money was spent by March 2018, with large chunks spent by McClure and D'Amico on a recreational vehicle, a BMW, and trips to casinos in Las Vegas and New Jersey," he said, "Yeah, I don’t know why on earth if you’re stealing that kind of money, you’d buy a BMW." Ha!

Ohmygoodness. I love that man.


Thing I'm thankful for: a nice, warm house during winter
