That media center sounds lovely. I love handmade things above all others. ;)
Just wanted to bump this to let you know I’ve been a coffee drinker since age 4. My Grandma always had ‘the perk’ on the stove and she drank it black and straight outta the boiling pot. I come from a VERY German family.
My sister introduced me to Hibiscus Tea. Have you ever been to this tea-related site? I get their catalog:

That same year Dad & Grandpa started to ‘let’ me play Cribbage with them. If I could hold a hand properly and not drop any of my cards, and do ‘the math’ myself, I was old enough to play.
Me: *Sniveling over some perceived Cribbage injustice.*
Dad: “There’s NO crying in Cribbage! I’m just trying to make you a better player!”
Beau and I are cutthroat Cribbage players and play at least once a day. I smoked him for many months, but he’s a quick study and has been paying me back in spades - literally, LOL!
In my ‘career’ I’ve had both a PERFECT 29 hand - against my Dad no less; my Crowning Cribbage Achievement - and a few weeks back I got a 28 hand against Beau.
Boy! Our conversations go everywhere! Now, back to our Regularly Scheduled Gardening Program, LOL!
I’m pumped about the tea link!
The ROT hibiscus was the first one I had tried. This was several years ago. Then I couldn’t find it again, and after a while, stopped searching, figuring they had discontinued that product. I am HAPPY to learn that I was wrong! Thank you!!
I learned to play cribbage when I was a teenager. My Dad played it all the time. He had several boards, but I amazingly got first dibs on one of his nicer ones when he passed away. So I have two. One that he bought for me when I was in college, and that one of his after he passed. I haven’t played in a while, but now that cooler weather is becoming a thing, bringing the cribbage board back out is a good idea.
