my parents were rich in daughters.
there are five of us, two have died, and never any sons.
i am the baby, by over a decade.
my mom called me bonus, but i know i was, shall we say, surprise.
one of my sisters moved to the north country several years ago, after staying "home" a long time, then living out west for a short time, she settled here.
and friday we had tea in her fine new apartment, and she gave me these little treasures.
these please me, most especially the chair.
thanks, claudia.
