The Good Towels
Why do we have stuff that is too good to use?
My Mother had seven "good towels" in her bathroom, two not so good and one towel you could actually use folded neatly near the sink. Mom always had good towels. Shortly after they finished building the house at the lake she went towel shopping. She purchased a set of white with tiny pink and blue flowers...and proudly displayed them over the tub. I recall her dismay when they were used by some little boys who did a quick wash in the sink, quick enough to moisten all the dirt which in turn was deposited on her beautiful white towels.
I don't have any too good to use towels, I don't have any towels that could remotely be called a "set" of towels. You know the ones with a bath towel, hand towel and washcloth all of the same color or print. I have two categories of towels...light and dark. The last time I had a whole set was in 1969. I am still working on wearing out all those hand towels that we got as wedding gifts. The bath towels are long gone ...but those hand towels remain. Maybe one of these days I should make rags out of them and then go out and celebrate and get a matching set!

I still don't have a good set of towels. All those hand towels made fine rags!
Too good to use...I use most everything I have. I do save a few blouses for good...not sure why...incase I need to dress up some day.
