Kate's Place Setting

We had some friends over for dinner Saturday and Kate broke out the good stuff. The china is from her mother, the crystal and flatware are from the event that happened 25.5 years ago.

When I saw the table after she had set it, I had to break out all the camera equipment that she made me put away. Dinner was excellent, by the way. Wow.

Aster novi-belgii

Kate "encouraged me" to join her on a trip to Home Depot's garden center to look for mums. As usual, I got distracted and made her buy me this toy. That'll teach her.
