Putting things away

The turkey salt and pepper shakers are back in the hutch, along with lots of other things I've picked up over time. The cookie jar is named "Pierre" and we had an identical one when I was growing up.  My parents promised him to me, but he broke on their move to Florida when they retired.  At some point I searched for him and found one and he arrived at my house on the same day my parents moved to Seattle when they were no longer able to care completely for themselves.  He holds memories, some good, some not so good, but I love him all the same.
