…for the love of old things
Typically after my workout class I run a few errands. I’m all sweaty and disheveled, but many of the places I frequent are on my route home, so it makes sense to take care of them when I’m already out and about. But today my youngest daughter (home from college for a month) had gone…
Had a few minutes to spare before church and since I was passing my neighborhood Goodwill I decided to pop in and check out one or two of my favorite sections. No time to look at jewelry, purses, books or clothes, but I did peruse the ceramics/china aisle. So glad I did. Sweet Finds Typically…
