From the cleaning out of the lady's place 2 weeks ago, I found a platter like this and thought I'd keep it because the pattern makes me happy, but now I think I should sell it, because I am not sure it makes me $20 happy. It is California Pottery from the late 50s called Happy Time, I mean COME ON. BUT, it doesn't match my stuff and how often am I gonna use a platter. If I want to get random pieces that don't match but make me happy, I should get salad plates and bowls.

Our wings are not tired.

Enjoy the cider. I hope your dad is able to rest tonight.

Yay for fun hair colors Sheryl! (For some reason my phone now thinks it is colour.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm so sorry, Steph.

Geek joy moment. My almost DIL works as a service advisor at Tesla and she took a video of a kitty rescue earlier today in her shop and the big boss saw it and tweeted it!!

The car owner heard the meows but couldn't find it so he drove super slow and careful to the service center and they put it on the lift and found it the bumper. She had messaged me the picture and video earlier then just let me know Elon tweeted her video! (I shared his tweet on FB)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay for kitty rescue!

msbelle, uses for your platter? Put it in the center of your table--or your coffee table, or the top of a bookcase in the living room. Add a few candles and a clear vase of flowers. Or a clear glass bowl with floating candles and floating blossoms. Or use it for cheese and crackers, or cold cuts.

I have a Dansk meat carving board I have used once for Thanksgiving turkey and once for Christmas ham in the years since I bought it when H was stationed in Germany. It hangs on the wall and makes me smile when I see it. Now I use it to put a bowl of dip in the center and scatter crackers, chips, cheese and a small knife, or cubed cheeses, and fruit slices around the bowl. It gets used, it makes me happy.

If your platter makes you happy, keep it and use it--you'll get your $20 use out of it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh Steph, that is terrible. Drink your cider!

In flip-flop/thong related things... I will never forget the faces of the young male actors when an older costume designer told them their costume for a prison scene would be "thongs and socks". In her head, in addition to the orange prison jumpsuit. Their eyes were so large!

Hey! I saw that tweet on Twitter!

She was delighted her video got picked up that way. She's a big fan of her boss.
