Even as a toddler, I admired that china in the three-cornered cupboard, so Grandma knew that I'd appreciate the treasure passed along to me. <br /><br />Grandma used this as her everyday china. Can you believe it? I'd never even consider using this Bavarian china for every day. <br /><br />Grandma's family was a large one, of the type that people had back in those days. Some eight children at one point.<br /><br />Many pieces were broken, of course -- especially the teacups and cereal bowls. We're down to only four of the former and one of the latter. But all the dinner plates survived.<br /><br />I know all about "irreplaceable." I've had no luck replacing any of the pieces. The pattern was a very limited one to start with, so replacement pieces run in at least the high 3 figures.<br /><br />Once in a while, even if the occasion isn't ceremonial, I'll bring out one of the china pieces to use for breakfast. Gives my whole day a lift!Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-88143278428813199342016-12-24T09:38:03.205-05:002016-12-24T09:38:03.205-05:00Yes, TMW is a true saint!Yes, TMW is a true saint!Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-22195696618718033832016-12-24T09:25:14.237-05:002016-12-24T09:25:14.237-05:00I ADDRESS the FOLLOWING PARODY to the MANY WHO HAV...I ADDRESS the FOLLOWING PARODY to the MANY WHO HAVE DEPOSITED GRATUITOUSLY HATEFUL, BELLIGERENT, WANTONLY DISRESPECTFUL and INANE MESSAGES HERE ALL of WHICH HAVE BEEN REMOVED and DEPOSITED in the TRASH WHERE THEY BELONG:<br /><br /><b><i>Drone on, all ye Hateful<br />Doleful and indignant<br />Drone on, and imbibe the Cup of Bitterness.<br />Go on, IGNORE HIM, born the King of Angels<br /><br />Go on, try to IGNORE HIM<br />Go on, try to IGNORE HIM<br />His Spirit lives triumphant<br />Despite Satan's fraud.<br /><br />Stink, Squires of Satan with each Exhalation<br />Stink all ye Denizens of Darkness Below.<br />Gory your doctrines trapped in fleshpots reeling<br /><br />Go on, try to IGNORE HIM<br />Go on, try to IGNORE HIM<br />His Spirit lives triumphant<br />Despite Satan's fraud.</i></b><br /><br />Despite all that, we hope you undergo a change of heart and begin to journey in the right direction in a Glad and Gracious New Year.<br /><br /><b><i>We wish you a Merry Christmas!<br />We Wish you a Merry Christmas1<br />We wish you a Merry Christmas<br />And a Happy New Year.<br /><br />Oh, bring us some figgy pudding; <br />Oh, bring us some figgy pudding; <br />Oh, bring us some figgy pudding <br />And a cup of good cheer<br /><br />We won't go until we get some; <br />We won't go until we get some; <br />We won't go until we get some, <br />So bring some out here<br /><br />We wish you a Merry Christmas; <br />We wish you a Merry Christmas; <br />We wish you a Merry Christmas <br />And a Happy New Year.</i></b><br />FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-58374047466567138392016-12-24T09:11:36.825-05:002016-12-24T09:11:36.825-05:00Thanks, Kid.

Not so I could "show off," but because I treasure everything that reminds me of my family and a few beloved friends, and wanted to preserve as much of what they gave me as I possibly could. I see it as a way of honoring them and keeping their spirits alive as I enter old age and begin the journey all must make towards Eternity where I hope I may meet them all again in an atmosphere of peace, harmony and mutual appreciation. <br /><br />And a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to YOU, Kid!FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-68875710591522634252016-12-23T21:33:42.582-05:002016-12-23T21:33:42.582-05:00A great compliment coming from a true saint.

We dare not put it in the dishwasher, so it is used only on "ceremonial" occasions. It's been part of every family Christmas celebration since long before I was born.
