Although I didn’t think about it at the time, in retrospect when I was young I knew that I would change a lot before I became an adult. It is only now that I realize that back then I thought that is where the transformation would end. Once I hit…

Delighted to become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution last year, I ordered some merch: a Christmas ornament, pin, scarf and baseball hat. At the time, I took a photo of them all to accompany a future story. Inspiration did not come; I removed it from my…
