Red Plate

There is a small story behind the red plates: we were given one each as baby shower gifts for Boo and Skibo: they came with an explanation --- they are to be used only when someone has a particularly good or a particularly bad day: they are in celebration of the good, or commiseration of the bad. It's a tradition we liked, and we have tried (not hard enough) to adopt it as our own. I won't go into the (good) circumstances of the appearance of the plate on Wednesday (the night we had calzones) at least not here and not now. We had guests round that day, and so we were able to share a nice family tradition with them: they liked it enough they took details of where to obtain the plates, and I think that they may adopt it for themselves as well:-)

Yours, sharing traditions,
N.
