PLAYING HOUSE

 


It looks as if we are having Thanksgiving here.  Daughter Margot has acquired a whole meal plus cranberry sauce and is bringing it here to prepare.  I wasn’t quite ready for that, but as long as it is only two folks, I am adaptable.  And too, it’s going to be fun to use the table.

In fact, I’m kind of looking forward to playing with my dishes and table fabrics.  I have drawers filled with place mats, table cloths, and napkins leftover from the days when I was an antique store.  It was an interesting way of paying off my student loans.  Along the way we found ourselves with a nice collection of Russell Wright dishes in the brown/cinnamon and plates in white.

 


Green too.  The fifties Bauer bowls will go nicely with the green platters and plates.  Did I say that?  Silly me.  It sounds as if I’m playing house with my own things.  Maybe all the medical stuff has reduced me to a 13 year old.  It’s ok after all.

  • Myself:  Read wrote, ate hotdog at Costco, Writing this, and pancakes for dinner.
  • Reading:  V3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
  • Watching:  North woods law.  I read.

  • Weather:  Hot, in the 80’s, and feeling very hot out of the shade.
  • Gratitude’s:  Feeling very good today.

  1. We have dishes that we never use, and I don't suppose that anyone ever will.

  2. There will be just the three of us for Thanksgiving this year. We’re still being cautious. We did buy a turkey today so we’ll go through the motions of brining and making some fixings just for the fun of it.

  4. My mother had a green/gray mixing bowl like your large one. She bought it at the outdoor market in Los Angeles. That was the favorite bowl... always.

    1. The one on the right was my grandmothers favorite bowl. I was thrilled to find the green one years later. Now I have one for both kids.

  7. I have no idea what the plan is for Thanksgiving this year or even if there is one. Guess I should call my daughter.

  10. I like your tableware. I'll be alone Thanksgiving, likely with virtual celebrations with my far-flung children, to which I've become accustomed many years since my husband died.
