Handed off a large tile (says "marble," but may actually be something else) 14" square to my friend who it originally belonged to. "Oh, it is a beautiful piece!" he said as I handed it over. It'll go well with the table that needs it, and it's one less piece I have to worry about. I still have one that I can use as a centerpiece on occasion. These were saved from the 30-yard dumpster that I have referred to elsewhere.

I still have a package sitting in my sun room to ship to my brother, and I can either send it to him in California and he can take it to his beach house in Washington, or I can simply wait till he's in Washington and send it to him there. I think the time is about here for that trip so I hope to be minus one tripping hazard soon.

I've given some thought to this particular thread's length - I think starting a new one to mark the beginning of spring will keep us from having a slow-loading unwieldy thread.
