As I was packing for my kayak trip, I came across this glasses collection. I have a couple of prescription glasses here – just in case I lose my current glasses. A new pair of readers that don’t work for me. But I see I also have some old non-prescription […] Read More
I’m getting ready for summer and a kayak trip. Sorting through my summer headwear. I did a cull of baseball caps not too long ago, but see I still have a few too many. One of them is from a Christmas play we all did together at City Farmer. A […] Read More
I’m getting ready for a summer kayak trip. Flashlights are always on the packing list. This is not an overabundant collection. I did have to recycle my beloved purple flashlight recently though.
