Where to Hide Chocolate Eggs
Wayne and I are in Washington for Easter. Even after a six-hour airplane ride, once home my first stop was my yarn room. My son came downstairs with me, took one look at my huge yarn stash, and said, “Mom, let’s talk about hoarding!” If you have a passion like mine, hoarding is easy. Happy Easter everyone. I just may hide a few of those chocolate eggs in my yarn room!
