Charlie and I were driving through Michigan once, came upon a nice country store. Great apple pies, berry pies, a real find. Not exactly in the middle of nowhere but definitely not in the middle of any town. We both noted the above memento for sale, separately. Many miles down the road it came up in conversation and we decided it needed to be bought. We vowed to do so on our next trip which would be God only knew when. And then...several years later, there we were driving through Michigan again, and came upon the same country store. Only it had burned down. How sad. Sad for the owners and workers, for sure, but also for us, no way we could get our desired memento. Such a monument to good taste. And then...amazingly enough, friends visiting Vegas purchased this one for us. How did they know? How?
