Many of us are mug collectors. There are so many mugs to choose from, and if they speak to us, they may just go home with us. While I have a few mugs, I know some friends have many shelves devoted to them in the kitchen cabinets. If that’s you, I would love to come […]
I gathered everything I needed—or so I thought—and headed out the door with both hands full. As I reached the car, I had a nagging feeling that I had forgotten something, but I brushed it off and kept going. Thankfully, I didn’t get far before realizing that I had forgotten my glasses.
