Daily writing prompt
What would you do if you won the lottery?
That is indeed an interesting question. First, I would confidently pay off the mortgage on our house and ensure that my two kids, who also have mortgages, are completely debt-free. Next, I would establish trust funds for each of our grandchildren, restricting access until they turn 25. Depending on the lottery winnings, I would also set up a college fund for them!
After that, I would invest in about 20 acres of land in Montana, where I would build a main house and a series of small cabins for our family. These accommodations would allow my kids and grandkids to visit or reside there if they choose. Then, I would return to Greenland to rebuild our current home, giving us the opportunity to spend winters in Montana and summers in Greenland.
Another important step would be to make a significant donation to a well-chosen cause for the homeless, particularly benefiting single parents with children, including single dads and moms. My son and grandson faced homelessness for nearly a year, and I am grateful for the community programs that helped them. Such resources are vital, especially for single dads raising their kids—there’s a pressing need for more support in this area.
As for what I would do with any leftover funds, I would thoughtfully explore my options!

My name is Katy and I have been living in South Greenland since August 2011. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina, raised in Florida, and migrated to South Greenland through marriage. I am married to an amazing Greenlandic man living 60º N - about 670 km south of the Arctic Circle.
I am a master gardener of 50 years. I started my love of ornamental gardening at the young age of 11. My paternal aunt gave me my first cutting and told me how to plant it. She also showed me some simple crochet stitches and sent me home with a cutting of coleus and a crochet hook with some yarn. At eleven it was like taking home a prize. Little did I know what would happen because of that. I learned how to sew my own clothing during my teenage years and that sewing has flowed over into me learning how to be a quilt maker. I love to take photographs of everything that catches my eye. I have thousands of photos. I am in love with icebergs. I don't think I will ever tire of seeing them and taking photos of them. The Greenland landscape is magnificent and it never disappoints. I also love to crochet as well as cook. I love making up my own recipes and serving them up to my "Heart Light" for test tasting. He is such a trooper. For the most part, he loves everything I've made.
I'm a summer tourist guide and love it when fellow Americans come to visit us so that I can tell them about Greenland and most of the time I always tell our story since it's so special.
I have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. I have grown to love Greenland as much as I love my home country USA. Greenland is like no other place and I will write lots about it and share photographs as well. I also love music and movies as well and I like to read. I will also be sharing blogs about quilt-making and other subjects that I'm involved with.
