I received this post from a friend of mine who works at the Iowa Great Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce. It is nice to see things like this which may (or may not) cause us to stop for a while and just smile. I would give credit to whoever wrote it but things like this seem to have a life of their own. Anyway, after this week throughout our nation, enjoy it.
