fancy
Today I am fluffing up our nest. Making it fancy, as Fancy Nancy would say, to host Thanksgiving. Using our china for the first time. Pulling out the sparkly water glasses. And even using the cloth napkins. Last night my hubby asked me if I had napkin rings. Ahem, doesn’t he know we NEVER use cloth napkins?
