weekend at ocean

Today we got back from our long weekend on Long Island at the Watson's beach house in Westhampton Beach, NY.

Here's the crew: our four in front. Seated left are Dorcas's two Hood College classmates--Candy with her daughter Tracey, and Paulette with husband Tom. Sorry about the closed eyes when the camera's timer went off.

The Atlantic Ocean begins just 200 or so yards behind this photo. We spent good time enjoying the surf and the people.

boldly on to e-bay

Cupboard raids can yield treasures, too. Dorcas found the creamer and sugar bowl with lid on Good Friday.

No cracks, no hidden defects. Showing some use on the gold trim. She acquired this set when the girls home in Long Island was closing down. Let me guess about 1978. They were left behind and she rescued them.

We used them in the era when grandparents, Ivan and Della, Lester and Elva, visited our home at 542 East Orange. Mikasa Rosetta, if you like names. Give them to re-uzit?

I put them on e-bay kind of for the fun of it and to keep in practice. It's been a year and a half since I put something on e-bay.
