China - Sharon has nice China which is seldom used and we do not really need any here,
and so, I do not need any, there were 3 sets, 1 for each grandparent and 1 at home,
and, both of the grandparent's sets went to home then one to you and I really do not remember
having a set, but, you said there is only one set left in the house. Now, there was the odd
silver set which shithead ended up with on the provision that it would go to Faydra and I sure
hope that came to pass, but, even more so, I hope the "missing" set did not also end up with
shithead, I just do not recall ever having it but that does not mean I never had it, so... well...
I just do not know where the "missing" set is... it might be in the attic at home for all I know.
Now, we do know where two sets are - one with you and one at home in the China cabinet, and, I feel
that in time these two will end up with Maryann and RL, sooooo... I am good with you having the
set in the China cabinet, especially since Maryann and RL are in your "neighborhood."
What do you think about that? - OK
hmmmmm... might be interested in the hunting theme dish set though... - OK

Dining room chandelier - if you have no plans for it, and, since the house will be leveled, I do
