Kind of a strange day. I tried to book a flight to Japan and was given bad information. I moved miles and spent time and money to no avail. The person who bought my china on Sunday said six dinner plates were missing. I haven't decided what to do. The shop I went to yesterday was closed today and

Yesterday I stopped in at my local Oriental Gift shop. Actually and ironically it is the biggest of its kind in the United States. It is always dangerous being there because the choices are incredible and the proprietors are lovely. They have two homes: one here in the Berkshires and another in A
