off kilter

this was my mother-in-law's 

Royal Standard

fine bone china

England

{Garland pattern)

Doris Kirk (who was an English war bride)

i do miss her sometimes, she was wise with words,

I have not forgotten some words,

"everything passes in time"

or

"keep peace in the family"

or

"don't you be a blighter"

"Donna, your boys are not like the other boys"

"they are special"

She was a little off kilter herself sometimes,

and loved a good "splash" of alcoholic spirits which

usually fixed up alot of medicinal maladies! lol

you have to love the British though, they are great conversationlists

just as Doris was

I wasn't planning on talking about my mother-in-law, who has now passed on about 17 years

or so ago,

I just wanted to let her know I really love having her special china from England

and I think she might be surprised at that.

Cheers! here is to being a little off  kilter

and enjoying a good cup of tea once in awhile!
