for Friday March 1st........the first of the Month

Beth with her kitchen set on Xmas. This reminded me of one Xmas when I got a much bigger set of kitchen appliances for Mimi and Patti, and Jeanni. (Maybe Jeanni). The whole set came in pieces on boxes. They were about 2 feet tall. I spent many hours putting it all together, up until midnight. It went over and was appreciated. It was strong being all metal and bolted together. 100's of small bolts. The set lasted a good while till it finally rusted apart. Beth's set above seems much more manageable.
