I'll obviously be feeding my vendors a hot meal, but should I make sure they each get a slice of cake? If not to eat at the ceremony, to at least box up and take home?
So, I have an old friend who moved away in highschool. We re-connected a couple years ago when she was diagnosed with MS and I went to visit her many states away. A few months later, she came to visit...
