There is a question that has been burning in my soul.
I will be sitting in quiet moments and I am faced with it.
I will be in my kitchen in the early morning, like grandma Rowe use to do, sipping my coffee and there it is again.
And even in the midst of the most chaotic hustle and bustle of the day, when there is not even one spare moment,
I turn and I am facing it square and there is no way to evade, or hide or run......
What ever happen to Mel mac?
It usually came, at any given time, in three different colors and designs and it was so inexpensive. If you lost a plate or a cup, well you didn't have to break the bank, you could just go buy a new set.
I remember going to Woolworth's and choosing the yellow sunflower pattern and at the next meal I prepared, setting the table with a particular pride and confidence.
Oh those days are gone.
What now. Walmart? ugh! Ceramic from china, no I do not mean china as in, fine table wears. Although now that we are on the subject of China, as in fine table wears, I did get a new(to me) set of beautiful china. Much to my surprise and pleasure, it was made in America. I got it at a yard sale. An elderly couple moved to assisted living and the family was not interested in keeping it. Oh Joy. I love it. I plan on using it for my every day wears, and why not. The kids are gone. Karl is gone, although if he were still here I think he would agree that china is a capital choice for every meal.
As I am sitting here writing I was moved to fix myself a cup of pomegranate green tea to enjoy at the end of a long day, of course, in my china made in America.
So now I am on to other thoughts.
