A Little Gift



My sister knows me so well.  She sent all of this in a little package for me.  OK, I like jelly beans...and the little tin with the puzzle is nice, and who doesn't love old clothes pins....but the FORK!  On purpose, we do not have a *set* of forks.  Our silverware does not match.  I like it best that way.  I love to just buy ONE knife here and there....a spoon once in a while....and have forks given to me as gifts.  It's fun to get into the drawer and decide which knife, fork or spoon  I want to use for toast.....cereal.....soup....or a salad.  When somebody sets the table, somebody will probably be right behind them moving the mix and match plates around to get the one THEY want....and more often than not...somebody says something about the fork they have.  I won't use the bamboo fork and we know which one Sara would take home with her if she could.  I have a little knife with a bunny on it that I have to keep a close eye on.  If you ever come to eat a meal with us....nothing will match, but it won't be an accident. It's all very well thought out.

I like the colorful clothespins - and the fork and the "mismatch" of silverware with which your table is set! I'm kind of intentional like that, too.

I'm mulling over an idea I saw in a magazine yesterday (can't remember which one - I thumbed through so many at Barnes and Noble). SOMEbunny dipped about 2/3 of the handles of their mismatched forks, knives and spoons in enamel paint--hers happened to be yellow paint. Don't know if I'll do it or not, but it was a clever idea, I thought...

the clothespins I think were maybe Granny's and Mom had them, so glad that you enjoyed getting the gift, love Kristi

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
