In which my NEW PLATES have ARRIVED!

I now have service for six instead of merely service for four.

This is truly the radiant glory of middle age: having six each of three sizes of plates and one size of bowl, that mostly-but-don’t-entirely-match my existing dishes (because they no longer make my pattern)!

It’ll be handy for my upcoming luncheon, but will otherwise do nothing but enable us to not do dishes for even longer.
