Second day trapped at home...
It's actually not bothering me. Apparently I have reached an age where going out into bad weather and treacherous conditions feels annoying rather than challenging.
Snow or ice rain or whatever it is is still coming down in Greenwood. The last time I saw a temperature report from the news it was still 29 degrees out. I discovered there is a good size air leak from the door to my balcony, so I have tucked a throw rug over it. Even though I keep the apartment quite warm (70) the cats are still lounging by the baseboard heater.
Tuesday night I slept badly for some reason, so Wednesday was spent napping. Today I am feeling perky and awake, so I put together the other half of the display cabinet I bought at Fred Meyer. Now I am trying to fill it and my cat Jasper is trying to 'help'.
As a teenager, I was shown some dinnerware by my Aunt Margareth and I agreed to take them. My sister thought they were too gaudy. At some point my parents acquired them and they sat in storage at my parents house for a number of years. I finally dragged them home last spring and the boxes have been in my living room since then. Today I can finally unpack them.
I'm not sure how many pieces there are, but there were three banker size boxes. The set is something called Arita Imari Peacock http://www.etsy.com/search?includes[]=tags&q=peacock+imari
I also found a brochure from American Express where you could get serving pieces. Sadly, no date on the brochure.
There is something weirdly grown up to me about having dinnerware in a display case in my house.
