Gladys always get it right, doesn't she, Nan? <br />We were having leftovers for supper last night with a big salad full of what came from the garden to round it out. I decided to put out the nice dishes and it just added to the flavor. This quote seems to have been made for exactly how I felt. <br />By the way, last week, I wrote a post using the Rimbaud poem, The Cupboard, which I first read over a year ago on one of your posts. It brought out such touching memories of others, Nan. Thank you for that long-ago post.

And I like those connections with the past, with my grandmother, and my mother, who always uses nice china, and with Gladys Taber herself, writing her thoughts in 1950, before I was born. Thank you for the quote - I'm off to make tea, in my old china pot, with proper tea-leaves, which I have for 'treats' and special occasions.Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-60529839252965348352013-09-30T21:04:28.890-04:002013-09-30T21:04:28.890-04:00Yes.
