This weekend I bought another set of dishes. They're really old and some parts of the set are collector's items. I love the set, but more importantly I really loved the lady that owned them before me. Dwight's aunt who loved me and treated me as part of the family as soon as she met me. The dishes are the Shawnee corn set with some pieces labeled as McCoy. I scrubbed a lot of dust off them and they're put in safe places, but they'll come out as soon as possible. I want to make my own memories with them. If one should happen to get busted, I hope I can smile about it. I mean I won't be overjoyed, but at least the dish will die in use with loved ones around. Maybe there will be a great story to go with it. I hope that these dishes remind people of the love at our table.
