This is the reason why I wasn't able to participate in Barb's Patio & Porch Party,

this 15-minute waterfall from last Saturday.

It fell all over the outside of my unit that kept my patio quite soggy. ;-(

Look at this horizon, it looks like it's foggy isn't it? Nope!

That's a solid downpour of intense rain!

Thanks Susan and Dixie for hosting another great Wednesday!

Make sure to visit her and the other participants today...

TABLESCAPING IDEA: ("Brain" has this in mind soon...) I've seen this in others' blogs. We focus on plates to round out or start off our tablescape, but on wet, cold days, make your meal your centerpiece! On a big lazy Susan, place the big soup bowl surrounded by the bowls or mugs and everyone grabs their own portion and enjoy a heartwarming movie!

I got a question from my yesterday's post. It was asked by Susan @ "Thoughts From Over the Rainbow". I figured many of you are curious so here's the Q&A:

"Now why don't you like Gibson. period. ?:)"

To be honest, I have no concrete reason other than I've only recently heard of them from a friend/neighbor. She had the "Grape Leaves" white embossed plates. My "Nepal" flatware by Gibson rusted after a month and I'm still waiting for the replacements plus back in March, at the same Goodwill, they had two aisles of dishes, mostly intact sets and most were by Gibson. I got tired of seeing their logo after a while and I left with one Sheffield teacup and dessert bowl combo. In exception to the wheat stalks patterned dinnerware, I've never had any of their patterns make me take a second look, really...
