A Snowman in Sunshine

A Slice of Life Kim.fundingsland@mydakotan.com KEY LARGO, FLORIDA -- I’ll admit it’s a goofy concept, at least that’s one perfectly acceptable way of looking at it. I’m talking about a North Dakotan going to the Sunshine State and completely covering up in opposition to it. Yup. Goofy. Wait now. If a fair-skinned Norwegian from […]
