The owner of a gift shop in Shelton, Shelton Gift Boutique in Shelton downtown, recently made these very special coffee mugs to honor of the Bristol Police officers who tragically lost their life recently in that horrible attack a few weeks ago.
The shop was selling the mugs for $50 each with all proceeds going to the families of the officers. The mugs sold out in one day raising $2,500 for the Bristol Police Heroes fund! Unbelievable
The owner Bryan Lizotte said he wanted to help out by donating somehow, but since he’s not rich or anything figured this was a good way to do it.
What I love about this is that it not only show what a good heart this store owner has, but also shows the kindness of everyone who bought a mug and sold them out so quickly.
Our love and support go out to the families of all three officers who were involved in that tragedy.

By now you’ve probably had a lot of Pumpkin Spice flavored foods, coffee, beer, treats, but what exactly is in pumpkin spice seasoning? And is there actually any pumpkin?
No! There is actually pumpkin because it’s technically a “Pumpkin Pie Spice” so the ingredients are all things you would find in a pumpkin pie recipe which is an aromatic blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Sometimes allspice is included.
You can buy it at the store or even make it from scratch at home. Yum!

Dogs are just the best and this is another great example of it. This one dog in England walks around a local golf course and finds lost golf balls to collect and bring back to the house. The dog’s owner then saves them and donates the balls to second-hand stores in the area.
So far they have donated more than 6,000 golf balls!

Despite what Ted Lasso and Finding Nemo might say, scientists have recently discovered that the famous myth that goldfish forget things immediately might actually be false.
A group of scientists at Oxford University just completed a whole bunch of studies on goldfish and their memory. They concluded that goldfish are actually really good at remembering things like where they’ve been and recent route they have swam along.
So just remember that next time you think the goldfish in your kitchen didn’t see you sneak that last cookie.
