Good luck selling that silver. Better yet, put those goblets out nest to sinks and use them! Let them go black with tarnish, if necessary. I haven't a clue as to how to check spelling when posting a comment. And, by the looks of comments I see posted all over the Internet, I don't think people much care about spelling in cyberspace.

I remember Christmas with great fondness and expectation each season. My grandmother's sister would send a present when I was between 8 and 12. She started out with a white dress shirts followed by books which was even worse.Only when she switched to sending $2.00 did she make a good impression. More in keeping with your story, my Godmother would send a silver water goblet with my initials each Christmas and then switched to butter dishes. They have never been used before, during or after my marriage. They sit in a wooden chest in a corner of my living room. My parents generation used silver, my generation used stainless steel and my children use their fingers, but not as much as they used too, or go out to eat. The good news about my silver is I might be able to sell it when things get even worse and send my great nephews white dress shirts, books or even money. Scott P.S. How do I acess spell check on these blogs? I enjoyed your pillowcases blog!
