A small recess from chores. The best china.

When I have guests, I like to do as much as I can beforehand. I don´t want to be tired when my guests are home. So now, two days ahead of time, I opened the dining room table and set it for 7 people. I had to wash my new-old china. It is my best, a beautiful china I had from my mother. This is the first time I will be using it and it took me some time to decide to do it. I normally have my meals in dishes that are not much beautiful or expensive. If the break, so be it. On Sunday, I will have to be very careful where I place the soiled dishes after the meal. Leticia asked me if I was also going to use the best glasses (Czechoslovakian cristal, also given to me by my mother). I said, no way. I would need a much bigger kitchen to place all that in a place where they would be safe. Besides, I don´t even know now how many glasses I have of each kind. The 1985 earthquake took its toll on some of them. More than 30 years ago, a life ago! It is funny how some glasses or dishes take me back to a distant past. Does it happen to you?
