Watered Down

After 12 years, I have finally broken a Waterford crystal. Not that I was trying or hoping, but I was using these stunning goblets. I think that they shouldn't sit on the shelf waiting for a special occasion. Shattering on Christmas only means we'd be picking shards out of the spoils of the boys' stocking. Instead, we were sweeping shards from beneath my seat where I typed recipes for the school fundraiser. Plus, as they were a gift from John & Esther, I know they support healthy use and will certainly forgive the loss of one. Sad, nonetheless.
