My Silverware Story...
It was time to buy some new daily silverware. My silverware story is about 29 years old….this is a pile of silverware that has about 3 different patterns that came from everywhere and everyone. Several years ago, I had to even dive into my special silverware and that has bothered me for quite sometime that I was using that everyday. (more about that in a later paragraph)

My mom made a comment over the weekend that I keep thinking about.
“I think what I really like about blogs is that the people who write them are so positive. It’s fun to read when people have a good outlook about things.”
