I inherited ...Beautiful china and a beautiful pie!<br /><br />I inherited my husband's great-grandmother's monogrammed table linens, because I used to be the one to host the family dinners. One Christmas I was getting ready to have the bunch, including some young ladies who I decided were old enough to appreciate the family history. I was standing in the laundry room, ironing the tablecloth and napkins carefully, quite enjoying it, and thinking of how these linens connected me to the past. "Nearly 100 years ago, Great-Grandmother White would be preparing to serve Christmas dinner on this tablecloth, and ironing it just as I am now." Then I came to my senses and realized that Great-Grandmother White, a woman of means, would have had servants doing all this stuff. Oh well.Kathi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380037164148416426noreply@blogger.com
