We always take a break between dinner and dessert...so last night Hannah got into her fancy American Girl nightgown before we sat down for pumpkin pie. As usual, the mischief began...noisy noisy singing glasses!
When I was about 8 years old, our family never went out to restaurants. To celebrate my mom's first paycheck from her new job, they took us out to a very fancy restaurant. My Dad took that opportunity to teach the three children how to test for good crystal. It's a nice little parlor trick, but it's probably not so welcome at a snooty restaurant! Make sure you hold the base of the stemware with one hand, while you steadily run your wet finger along the rim of the glass.
Hannah mastered it a few years ago, and every formal dinner she starts the fun:
p.s. My counter will soon hit 10,000! Take a peek and leave me a message if you happen to be the special visitor who hits 10,000!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Addendum: That didn't take very long! Someone from Marina, CA (a new reader, I think) was #10,000 last night at 2:11 a.m. Eastern Time.
