Yet another piece of china from my rare, antique set has been broken by the hands of one of my offspring.  I would have been irate had my daughter not been so devastated.  I think she knew how much I loved the china set, so I knew she felt absolutely horrible (evident in the flood of tears that ensued). 

Oh well.  This now being the third piece broken recently – I just hope I find this china replacement piece as easily as the last one.  Geez, I’m sure edish (my replacement service of choice) will welcome me back with open arms; a regular customer they know will be back again…and again…and again.
