Grandma Gail

I have all of it.

They're all sitting in the kitchen.

You've seen how many sets of dishes I have, but they're not contemporary.

That's the whole thing.

I gave mommy a whole set and they were beautiful and she used them once for a dinner party and then she said, they're too fancy.

I'm not using them again.

They do have to take, you know, be a little careful, but who cares at this point?

Just use them.

What do you mean I kept them?

I think I only used one set, a blue and white flower, little cornflower set that Poppy and I ate off of forever.

That was the only set we ever really used for every day.

And we did for dinner.

And then when my children were growing up, I think I used a white and gold set that I had.

But I have like eight sets of china from from different relatives that all somehow ended up in my apartment.

So why did you only request china?

Because in those days you did dishes in China and flatware.

So, you know, nobody requested luggage.

I mean, no, that was not a thing that we ever did.

I had white luggage that my mother-in-law had bought me for a honeymoon present.

Do you have that still?
