I have thought long and hard about parting with them, believe me. When I thought about it though, it only makes sense. They have been sitting hidden away in my cedar chest for decades. They are too special and too valuable to use. If I were to use them, they'd get soiled, and eventually, they'd need washing. I'm not sure how well they would hold up. Plus, I don't have any way to store them properly. I'm turning them over to the museum for safekeeping as much as anything else. Others will enjoy them, yes; but mainly, they will be taken care of in the way they deserve. And I do like the part about making her a part of history too.
