Happy New Year

Happy New Year. I'm looking for the owner of a unopened Yahtzee game that was left at our house on the 19th. I took it down home today but found no takers. Let me know if it's yours, otherwise you might receive it as a gift from me next year. I've got a McDonald's gift card which is Christopher's that I'll be forwarding along soon. Hope that everyone stays warm during this winter blast. I'm glad we finished the outside inventory last week.
