The Garage

Remember when the power went out and the whole family ended up in one room with every flashlight in the house, playing cards until somebody fell asleep on the couch? Somehow that was the best night of the winter.

Everything here is for the next time the lights flicker. Most of it lives in one bin on one shelf, which is exactly where you’ll want it.
