I can SO relate to this!!! Most recently on how I need to start using 2 generations of silver flatware more since it never gets seen. In using it, I'll be holding my ancestors close i.e. my great grandmother and grandmother and cherishing what they held dear today. No more waiting for that special occasion as I am here now (not getting any younger!) and in my mind the "Downton Abbey" era and my memories of a bygone era are still alive and well.
