Tip of the Finger
A few months after I bought the house, I bought a water filter to install under the sink for a drinking faucet. Installation was pretty simple.

Kroger’s Sushi
I picked my niece up from her band competition. We both decided we were hungry and went to Kroger to get some sort of snack or something. Decided we should go look for the new Lunchly. They were out of stock of all six or so of the flavors so we took a minute to…
