Fortunate Indeed . . .

 

I am very fortunate

to have inherited my mothers

Alpine Syracuse China

and her silver.

 

 

and to have my

Chevy-Chase Syracuse China

and

 Old Lace Silver

 

  

I am also fortunate to have

my mother in laws

very old

Emerald Fostoria Goblets

beautiful linens

and my

Waterford Crystal

 

 

 

Very Fortunate Indeed

yet

 I seldom use them any more.

 

instead I set a pleasant table

using stem less wine glasses

stoneware dinner ware and stainless steel cutlery.  

 

 

  

  My finery abounds

and yet the

two most favorite

utensil pieces in my possession,

are these two spoons.

 

I don't know the brand

although I do remember

where they came from.

 

I guard them carefully.

They are best for stirring and not for ice cream scooping.

 

I remember the hands that stirred with them.

I remember the many meals cooked for me and my family.

Each time I pick them up to use them I remember my mother.

 

I remembered her today

as I made

Blueberry Pancakes

Special Eggs

Fruit

for our

Sunday Brunch

 

My mom was a special lady.

I miss her.

 

Love

Lynne
