Family tradition - a spoon jar on the dining room table. Nana Sullivan's original spoon jar had a motto - "Cheer up the worst is yet to come." Mine is Centennial from a beer festival. Lots of spoons at hand all the time.
Now I wish someone could tell me what happened to all my cake forks. Gone. Four of twelve left. Someday I will find them cowering a corner with all the unmatched socks.
