The story of the ric-rac glasses...

 

These little glasses looked so lonely when Mom spotted them at a flea market long ago.  What was she to do?  Why, take them home of course!  After all, who could resist these charming little glasses, all done up in red and white checks with ric rac trim?  Now "the ric rac glasses" have a special place on the small red cart that sits beside the dining room table.

Where they stay... until a day like today.

We Long ladies have this funny little tradition.  You see, Cherry Coke tastes especially good in one of these little ric rac glasses.  So, sometimes in the afternoon or evening, the ric rac glasses come off the red cart.

  

Then comes the fun part-- we sit and sip our soda from the little glasses and just talk.  Sometimes we laugh (well, most of the time), and sometimes we cry.  Sometimes we just sit together, the five of us, making memories that will last forever.

Maybe when Mom and Dad are empty-nesters (Lord willing), we girls will come home... just to sit and sip soda out of Mom's ric rac glasses.

Pretty glasses! That is just the kind of thing that my mommy likes. Oh, and I was just wondering, have you all ever made anything with cloth yo-yos? God bless.

Hi Mikell,
Yes, we've used fabric yo-yos for so many different projects! As a matter of fact, we were just contemplating a new project that involves yo-yos (and instructions on how to make them), so stay tuned...

Thanks for commenting!

Hello Long ladies, You are making me lonesome and wishing I was there to share the soda and especially the talking, laughing and even sometimes the crying. Missing you all very much!
