Oh dear!
so much for that new fan-dangled cookware!

Similiar to the time my sister was helping to provide post-op care for her MIL and polished the brass patina from a 1872 armoire. Oops.

My mother always had a saying "The path to hell was paved with good intentions" sounds like a lot of that going around.

She hates how cluttered it is and will (if not roped in) go getting rid of anything and everything that I don't "need"

One of the last times she was here she "helped" the kids clean their rooms.
I just smile and remember she is only here for 3 days......

However if you need more scraps I will be more than happy to send you some!

Was that a "southern style" "bless her heart"?

Did you ask her if she saw them and what she might have done with them if she did see them? You had better ask while you are in a different room, that way if she did throw them out it will give you time to "cool off" before you can reach out and strangle her. LOL

I plan on calling her and asking her... I am very bad with my facial expressions!
