While we sat in the waiting room at a doctor’s office, my husband filled out the forms they had given me. All of a sudden, I felt him shaking with quiet laughter next to me. “What?,” I asked. “I just checked “Single” instead of “Married,” he said. Too bad the…

Posted on April 17, 2025 By Sister Rain

Country Junction in Lehighton, Pennsylvania calls itself “The World’s Largest General Store” and after experiencing it for myself, I cannot dispute the claim.
