Thanks to an anonymous snow angel

During the recent snowstorm, my friend and I finally ventured out of the apartment to get some air, see the snow, and find out how everyone around town was fairing. Snowball fights, snow sculptures, warm food and slushy puddles abounded.

After a nightcap with some newfound friends, I walked back to my place. Somewhere along the way, my white wallet fell out of my pocket into the white snow. The next day, I walked frantically along the sidewalks looking for the wallet, but to no avail.

But good news: Just today I came home from an out-of-town holiday trip to find the wallet in my mailbox! I wanted to use this letter to let whoever found it and left it for me know that I'm psyched about their thoughtful deed. Thank you, thank you! You make Asheville awesome.
