Salute

ok, so mm needs to give kudos to her marvelous spouse who cleaned up after yesterday's dinner, as well as to the single child who helped clear the table..........when i say cleaned up i mean did the dishes and put things away....things like the silverplate that hides deep inside a cabinet, and the crystal waterglasses that also have an out of the way place to be between infreuqent uses..........i did not get out my grandmother's china, mostly because i do not like it and also because it did not 'go' with the tablecloth.....these are granny art deco/floral and mm prefers plain white plates that do not interfere with the food on them.........artistically or spiritually................i still have 12 water goblets presented by my mother when we got married, as well as 12 champagne flutes......and 12 sherbert/ice cream stems.......but only 3 wine goblets remain..............they were used much more often so the chance of breakage of increased dramatically............those who drink wine are much more likely to break the glass than people who drink water...........since our guests stayed only a short while, there was little of anything consumed yesterday..............the 3 wine goblets survived for another day................
