How was your weekend, GrayViners?

I spent Saturday on a little mother-daughter date, and something made me laugh—my bag was about twice the size of my mom’s. I always pack half the house when I go out because I like being prepared for everything. I'd always bring my essentials (wallet, cards), water tumbler, a small pouch for tissue, wet wipes, lip balm, an extra tote bag in case I buy stuff, a handkerchief, a face towel in case I get sweaty, and sometimes a cap, a book, or my sketch notebooks or journal.

It got me thinking: Besides your phone, what’s the one thing you can’t leave the house without? I’d love to hear your answers!

Thats so funny! I can leave my phone at home but my dog goes with me every where! It drives my daughter crazy, because what if she needs me? I laugh and tell her the same things I did when there were no cell phones!
