a "broken" heart bagel


Yesterday morning I woke to one of my "seeing hearts" bagels.
I am always surprised by them.
Hearts are everywhere.
Do you ever see hearts?

Anyway,
Breakfast is good.
Coffee gets me going.
I put sugar in my coffee.
😉
Notice the green depression era glass sugar bowl.
It belonged to my Grandmother Hodie.
I chose it to come to my kitchen many years ago.
It's one of those things that makes me happy.

After I finished eating and started to clean up,
I dropped the lid and it broke into three pieces.
It shattered and there was no way to fix it.
I was "brokenhearted."
I went into all four stages of grief quickly and then dealt with my tears.


When I accepted that it was ruined,
I started thinking of how I could make this situation better.
My Hodie was a problem-solver too.
I came to my computer,
went to eBay,
 and typed in green depression glass sugar bowl lid.

It took a while.
I found a set...
sugar bowl and cream server,
no one had just a lid.
I bought it and it is on the way to my kitchen.
The lid won't be Hodie's, but the sugar container is authentic.
She would be so proud of me.
