Well, it looks like it is the cupboard above the refrigerator and it hasn't been opened for years - yes years. What's inside? Well, I have been trying to clean out the house a little at a time while my physical abilities prevent me from doing a lot of activity like of the past. And, this is my Dinnerware China service for eight and all the serving pieces that was bought 63 years ago when I got married.
YES, TODAY WOULD BE MY 63rd WEDDING ANNIVERSITY - - - - - if my husband had not been caught up in illegal drugs when he started new employment on night shift and I was working days. These were the 60's when drugs, sex and rock 'n roll were the culture of the time. We were going through a rough time regarding his employment. Therefor he was more vulnerable at the time.
Up until that time I couldn't have been happier with my life with a great husband and two very lovable children. That was for about nine years. It's rather a sad story and some thing I could never imagined in all my life. I didn't even know anybody that was divorced! No more specifics other than the damage to all of us has been heartbreaking with a lot of trauma and heartache, especially for the children. He died at age 47.
My life has been extremely challenging but I have had a full life filled with many wonderful experiences and I am content and grateful for the life I have had. It's just terribly different than I would have expected.
I have my own home, enough money and I am still able to live at home even with my orthopedic situation. I am blessed.
As you can see, I enjoyed dishes and entertaining starting way back then! But, it is time to get help getting the dishes down and send them on their way for someone else to enjoy.
I hope you are doing well and enjoying this time of year.

Funny. I've been getting rid of stuff myself.
ReplyDeleteLife does throw us curveballs. You are a very strong woman and came out all the better on the other side of bad times. Those dishes look lovely. I am sure someone will be pleased to have them.
ReplyDeleteAnita, Thank you friend for your positive response of my journey. Without therapy, I think I might be roaming the streets wondering who I am.
