Sometimes Shopping Is Fine

I’m not known for my love of shopping in general. If you find me shopping you might find me in the grocery store, the Apple Store, or a book store, but yesterday I went to a furniture store-Room & Board. This store focuses on good design, American made, social responsible furniture. And, when […]
