Since the holidays I've been focused on next.
While I'm not moving in the traditional sense
I'm trying to bring some things that will make
our furnished apartment feel like home. Thus
I've packed some china, crystal, and silver.
After all one must still be able to set a proper
table no matter where they live! In addition
I've been going through old photos which put
me in a rather nostalgic mood. Therein lay a
treasure trove of former repasts. While I don't
have a picture for every table set, nor all the
meals we've hosted, I've always got plenty of
memories to share. So here's just a few...
