24th love

Yep, I am behind. I makes me so mad I think that next month I will post a picture of something I HATE everyday.

On to the love.....

I went to buy some new flatware. The set we had was in bad shape. I had only two teaspoons, so we were using the big soup spoons for cereal and such. Many of the pieces had a match with the garbage disposal, and a few of them had lost- but were still being used.

I walked in to Macy's with a 20% off coupon, and gazed at the display of Oneida flatware. I immediately grabbed a style that I liked. It would go well with my plates. I still skimmed over the other styles, and read their names. Then I thought, "What is the name of the pattern I am holding?". I looked down at the box in the crook of my arm and saw the name "Lincoln". I stopped looking at flatware and went to pay for my little gem.

Every time I open the drawer to get a small smooth spoon my heart leaps. Wyatt (whose first name is Lincoln) and Lincoln are also very pleased with the choice I made. =)
