Am I a rebel or what? :)Danaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610472310457985726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085354065266323033.post-59178547635211377062014-04-25T13:03:25.971-05:002014-04-25T13:03:25.971-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Danaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610472310457985726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085354065266323033.post-83298068519984766552014-04-22T21:12:45.337-05:002014-04-22T21:12:45.337-05:00Thank you, Arla, you said this right up front and ...Thank you, Arla, you said this right up front and it is very true and good and heartwarming. I am wondering at times why have pretty dishes? I recently bought a yellow gold colored deviled egg dish and have not used it yet and am waiting for a bunch of company to use it. Just Sid and I make a poor amount to cook for and I miss all the mess and hullabulue and treasure of talk and all that goes with this preciousness. Dish washers make my girls happy when here and we do set and talk a long time now and I like this too. Precious time when my girls sang and harmonized and goofed off and spat and quizzed each other and told secrets and ill wills and good cheers and and and--- love MOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085354065266323033.post-91242285195483613152014-04-22T16:00:13.764-05:002014-04-22T16:00:13.764-05:00You are still bossing me about the dishes!

I even said so to you. I was a pure brat, I admit. I agree with you now about the washing dishes thing. We don't have a dishwasher in this old house and I am doing just fine with my hands in the warm water. The old way isn't so bad after all.Westwoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741569926764306065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085354065266323033.post-88420536547325422082014-04-22T12:08:12.121-05:002014-04-22T12:08:12.121-05:00And really, not having glass doors in front of you...And really, not having glass doors in front of your china isn't going to make that much difference. For sure not if your glass doors are as tight as ours. I think it looks nice.Kayla https://www.blogger.com/profile/13148932525674835606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085354065266323033.post-16899810869712990552014-04-22T12:04:33.767-05:002014-04-22T12:04:33.767-05:00I also prefer the china.

I think my father would have something to say if we tried putting paper plates and cups on the table. :-)Kayla https://www.blogger.com/profile/13148932525674835606noreply@blogger.com
