I don’t have a breadbox to set the box next to it so you can compare the size, but trust me — it’s smaller than a breadbox.

Here’s another hint: Eight years ago (wow, time really does fly once you pass age 45!) Tim and I had our very first date on April 1 at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC.
