It seems we're on the same page.<br /><br />Jenn - Simplifying is definitely on everyone's minds these days, I think. It's not that our parents didn't live through hard times. I think they just had different expectations and goals.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822692768754916337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028516413433582181.post-81455940610867178322010-01-26T14:59:19.974-08:002010-01-26T14:59:19.974-08:00Sometimes it is good to remember the simpler life ...Sometimes it is good to remember the simpler life of our parents and grandparents.

Your plates are treasures. Using them only makes them more special. My mom at some point said to me: I'm using all the good stuff.
