My Mug Obsession
Am I the only one with an obsession for mugs? Every time I go into Marshall’s they keep calling my name. There are mugs for moms and pops, husbands and sweethearts, co-workers and friends.

Memories Lost and Found – Then vs Now
Well, my date for leaving this land of my birth has come and gone, and all my sidekicks have all since packed up and left me and I’m still here.
