    Wife Found My Stash

    My wife saw this And bless her heart. She replied, “we need to get that pile of junk organized.” She helped me make this. She still thinks I’m nuts, but she lets be myself and doesn’t judge. I’m keeping her.

    PSA - Sometimes Your Favorite Blend Stops Being Your Favorite
