Pieces Of Silver

We always had a mish-mash of silverplate
 flatware when I was growing up.

These few pieces are all that are left. 

I upgraded my parents with a matching set 

as a gift many years ago.

That was a time when vintage just meant old 

stuff. Now vintage is vogue.

The small child size fork and spoon were

 always my favorites to use.

I loved the daffodil handles.

My father would tell me these were specially

 made for me. I was  not easily convinced. 

But he would show me the R monogram and

 what he also said was a J intertwined

 for our last name. RJ 47. 

Yup! That's me.

Just a few left, a big fork and spoon. 

That fork has been used to turn lots of pork 

chops in the pan over 60 years.

I still like to think of these as mine.

I gave these few pieces of silverplate a polish

and put them into a Mason jar by the stove,

I can grab one to turn a pork chop.

I love the memories. 

Cheers!
