    Doomsday… That was something that was talked about a great deal in my home when I was a child. My grandmother having grown up Mormon was notorious for having multiples of everything. From canned goods and frozen pot pies to hand soap and tooth brushes. There was no limit to the things she…

    I am either a hoarder or collector of denim jackets; I guess it would depend who you ask, and how many constitutes a hoard vs a collection. For the record, I fancy myself as a collector. I recently found a jean jacket with the words of one of my favorite hymns painted across…
