Welcome back, good friends

Oh, welcome back to our house. I’ve missed you so much. Okay, so you haven’t been gone all that many days but, still, I have missed you. Days, especially meal times, just haven’t been the same. Nothing seems quite right without you. But you’re here now and all is right again with the world.

I’m talking, of course, about our fine Corelle Ware by Corning, the white set with the green flowered trim around the edge that looks like it is about 40 years old because, well because it IS about 40 years old. I am such a creature of habit that the size, the looks, the feel of these pieces of “fine china” are an important part of my day.

During the Christmas season, we usually get out of storage the “Christmas” dinnerware to use for parties and other special occasions while we continue to use our regular plates and bowls for more routine meals. This year the Christmas dinnerware took the place of our regular settings which were sent to storage for the duration. But they have returned – and not a moment too soon!
