As to caring about things, there are certain pieces in our motly assortment of china that no one else likes to use. I make a point to use them so they won't feel rejected.

I've seen stranger things on flights. So, go ahead, let the people around you on the plane take a second look. <br />I have the same feelings towards items when someone was thoughtful and gave something to me. The thought really does count!Court or Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152978816594971038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-44573596283552814282013-07-06T19:25:59.975-07:002013-07-06T19:25:59.975-07:00Now you did it again.

Then you need to let the roosters face off somewhere else--maybe over a pan of grass seed. See, a perfect nod to your family business, and just the right touch of domesticity and rural wholesomeness. (The tops of my kitchen cupboards sport ceramic fowl: two roosters, two hens, one white duck and one white goose, and one mallard--all actually cookie jars or soup tureens.) I'm quite fond of poultry, and these are not messy or noisy--just beautiful.

They actually lay eggs, and believe me, they have much more personality than pillows. lazonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064232955883413705noreply@blogger.com
