Sometimes You Lose. Sometimes You Gain.

 It's that time of the year when I have to trim the Japanese lucky bamboo. I trimmed it last year and the young shoots were then placed in another small vase.

I can't find the crystal lead vase that my Mom-in-law gifted us. I looked and checked all the cabinets and cupboards, no, can't find it. The crystal vase that was missing is "tangible" not just a picture or photograph. Don't tell me it was stolen. I have to use the glass pitcher again. It's a pitcher not a vase. The thief whoever that thief should have stolen the pitcher instead of the 100% lead crystal vase.

It seems that every year,  one or two crystal wares are missing or being stolen in our home.
