As I put away the crystal from yesterday’s festivities, I wonder…why on earth do I clean these glasses before I put them away, and then again when I take them out for the next use? Is that what everyone does or not? And just why are there spots after they were so carefully hand dried? Am I toeing the line of OCD, or am I just a good hostess?

In spite of today’s pedantic rant, I DO have some colorful highlights of our week here in the hood, and I will post as soon as the glasses are put away…
