And finally, as promised, here are photos of some of the items I ordered from MM.LaFleur. (Please disregard the restroom stalls in the background. Larry kindly took photos in our house, but the harsh lighting was…well…harsh. I took these selfies in the bathroom at work. I know, kinda creepy. But don’t worry, no one else was in there at the time.)
