Remembering September 11, 2001

Hello Sweet Shoppe dwellers. Yari here today to bring you a special blog post honoring September 11, 2001 and all that happened on that day. I am not going to lie, this was rather difficult for me to do. Tears filled my eyes and my heart was taken away in emotion several times as I […]
