Each time Cheyenne and I traveled home from one of her orthodontist appointments over the past year and a half we passed a store called Tuesday Morning. Each time I would say to Cheyenne, "We should go there." And yet, we never stopped. It seemed that Cheyenne always had to hurry back to school or [...]

The trouble with tribbles…
