The Days When She Carries Me

Yesterday, up until about 4:15 or so, the worst part of my day had been when I drove away from the Taco Bell drive through having forgotten my change. I was out a little less than $3… no biggie. Then came some bad news at work, and my day collapsed. In the big picture, it […]

Wife Swap

Brown paper packages tied up with string…..I’m finding some new favorite ideas at Junk Creation. I’ve often used these bags to cover boxes for shipping. And check out the origami stars!!! Cute.
I’m always interested when someone makes something useful […]
