Silver Teaspoons

The Waikato River flowing through Hamilton on a sunny day

Our forecast rain never arrived today so all the washing got dry.  I called in at my favourite bookshop this morning and bought two puzzle books.   One is a logic puzzle where a picture is revealed when colouring in the squares (pixels) according to the numbers given on the top and left edges, and the other is a version of the popular Japanese puzzle of Sudoku.

It is amazing how you can forget what you own.  I was sorting through a box earlier on, and came across a small black container with six silver-plated teaspoons in it.  I have no idea why I forgot I owned these, because they have sentimental value to me.  Perhaps it is because I have never used them. 

My grandmother's teaspoons

My mother gave them to me as a birthday present many years ago.  She had received them long ago as a birthday present from her mother, who put a little note in with them to say that she had received them as a wedding present.  My grandmother married in 1925, so these teaspoons are almost 100 years old.

My grandmother is the lady on the left of the photo.  I love the huge bouquet of flowers she is holding.

May your troubles be less,

and your blessings be more

and nothing but happiness

come through your door.
