Good evening Glassies all.

I checked the totals for precipitation at Andrews AFB,(just 6 miles south from my house) to find that we have had a years rain between Irene and Katia to date. No wonder that Upper Marlboro, Md. (The County Seat) is closed due to flooding. None of the roads that go thru the center of town are passable. Good thing most buildings there are not residences. Many roads have washed out and one was undermined to the point of collapse. More rain coming.

Meanwhile, I had a great visit and lunch with @newt0n JimD. Thank you both for welcoming me into your home. Sharing your collections with me and allowing me to (for the first time) see and feel some Crown Tuscan pieces. Photographs in books or posted online just cannot do them justice. Thank you again. It was an education on many levels.

@wattleihavenext Julie, best of luck at your swap meet. Sell bunches and come home with pockets bulging.

@oklahomasong Gail, We didn’t do any treasure hunting but I sure did some treasure seeing. It was all I could do to keep my mouth closed. My jaw just wanted to drop and if it did I would have made a mess drooling.

nancyjean , Thanks for your good wishes. We can all use all of those we can get. Made it.

@okcoolwheels Suzy, looked at lovely bowl but know nothing.

Scott, I too have been sucking up water in my basement three or four times a day. Feel lucky that a 16 gal shop-vac usually does the trick each time.
