For lack of anything better to write about, I've decided to do an inventory of Noah's "treasure drawer." There are a few things that I know Noah would die without and several things in there that I think he meant to throw away but decided were far too valuable to part with. No matter what, the following list definitely shows just how true the saying is that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Like I always say about Noah--he has the gift of finding beauty in everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything!
