This time I was (almost) prepared. In recent postings, I’ve shared how often the handmade bag from my 90 year-old aunt gets compliments at Trader Joe’s. Last week, when both the clerk and the bagger admired it as I checked out, not only did I tell them its origins, but also that I was ...

It’s not like I’d ever forget the moment and yet, I’m not sure why, but only midway through writing this did it actually come back to my awareness.
