Flo and I were cleaning her mother's house in anticipation of the closing. The house that Flo and her brothers grew up in. The house where her parents spent almost sixty years. There was a lifetime in that house.
I was packing the breakfront and I came to the crystal. There was a set of tall water glasses, wine glasses, and both large and small stemmed dessert glasses.
I first wrapped and packed the water glasses. I packed nine of them. An odd number. There were eleven large wine glasses but twelve small wine glasses. There were twelve of the large and small dessert glasses. A few of them were chipped and I put them aside.
There was a lifetime in those crystal glasses....and in a lifetime, things break and get chipped.
