I would take a day for self-care and book a spa appointment so I can destress, take a walk by the beach and make a nice dinner for my family.

We have aging parents with medical issues and I haven't seen my mom in a year. Now that we are all vaccinated, I would rent an Air B&B and take her and my siblings to a beach for a few days and get her pampered.

If I win, I’ll spend the money to rejoin with a two year family membership to Norfolk botanical gardens. Any remaining money will go towards plants for my garden.

I'd visit a few wineries during the day; treat myself to a nice dinner and stay overnight at a lovely bed & breakfast in the mountains.

With a day off and $200.00, I would take myself and my 95 year old mother-n-law for a pedicure, which is a year overdue.  Afterward, we would go to restaurant for a light lunch, since we are now vaccinated.

I would go buy another gallon of deck stain to finish staining my porch & the new gate I built for the new puppy (now 6 months old) we have. Then I would buy some blocks to put next to the skirting on the house. Then I would (by now I know I’m out of the $200, but that did get me started), put the rest of the edging down to divert the rain water & build a small patio roof off the end of the porch for the grill with another set of steps to go to the right. My Oasis would be starting to come together in our new home in our new neighborhood, Crestview Retirement Village (50 & older with no children), it’s quiet, everyone is very nice & no one bothers anybody else’s property...

I would take my grandson to the movies, roller skating,  and somewhere to buy a new puzzle. It has been so hard for him because he  lost half of his kindergarten year and all first of grade. He has repeatedly said his life is so boring so I would like to try and fill one day with all the fun things he misses doing. That will make my heart filled!!

My husband and I would take a ride to the mountains and go see the waterfalls. While we are there, we would go to lunch and eat outdoors just to enjoy the nature. We would then go to farmer's market and get some fresh vegetables on our way home. This would surely make a relaxing getaway from it all day.

I would donate $100.00 to a local animal shelter and the other $100 I would take buy some snack gas for my car and head to the beach. I would sleep in my car and get up the next day to watch the sunrise

I would start the day with a sit down breakfast of biscuits/gravy and scrambled eggs @dennys. Then enjoy a nice massage, followed by an afternoon trip to the local zoo. Finish the day with a nice steak dinner and a little country dancing and a small glass of Amaretto!
