In about 1985, we moved from Montgomery, AL to India. Friends in Montgomery made a beautiful table cloth for us with flowers by each embroidered name. I can only imagine how much trouble it must have been to do all that and to organize its construction too. The downside was that I had to store the table cloth because we could only bring two suitcases each and had to leave the cloth in storage along with most of our household goods. One year when we returned, I found the cloth had huge holes in it because the rats had gotten into the storage shed. =(
