I have a set of china that my very DMIL bought for us. I tried to tell her that we would NEVER use it in Hawaii but she insisted that every one needs a set of china and if I didn't pick out a pattern that she would. So I selected a white on white pattern with silver trim....used it maybe twice??? But....it's a memory now that no one can take away from me and they will be halved between DS and DD that their grandmother purchased them. How I miss her!!!
