Clink, clink, CRASH! There goes another one!
Tile floors and glassware just do not mix! I love tile floors for so many reasons, but there is just that one thing that I would like to be different. One little bout of fumble-fingers, and your glass is toast. Then you have to wear shoes around the house for a few days while the glass slivers overcome their shyness.
The fortunate thing is that we got over any sentimentality long ago - glasses are just glasses. When we run low, we make a run to the store and stock up again.
And we do run low - I think my record is three broken glasses in two days. One glass made it through a single pouring of wine before it cracked. We still have one glass from our original batch, but I'm thinking of getting a pool going for it's crash date...
Julie,
ReplyDeleteHow did you know to write this???
I just an hour ago finished fixing dinner here in Tampa and in the process dropped my TWO 8-cup Pyrex handled mixing bowls both at once. [ sigh ]
I did have them for about 20 years though, so I got a lot of use out of them.
I used a long-handled 'grabber' to pick up the llarger shards and a broom and dustpan to get the smalls, but sweep as I may there are still a few tiny flakes there glinting on the floor. Time to get out the ol' vacuum and go over the area thoroughly.
Shattered in Tampa!

it's a world-wide phenomenon...
