*An update on my Dad, I drove him and my Mom to emergency yesterday, because he was having a difficult time breathing. They admitted him again. They found out he was retaining fluid again. They put in a tube for draining and left it in. His bladder was also backed up, so they put in a catheter. We need to know why his lungs are filling up. Thank you for your prayers and healing thoughts.

Hi Linda, Love your MC tablescape. Of course I always love B&W checks and incorporate them at home and in my paintings too. Your table is so inviting.I'm so sorry your dad is having health issues. I understand this time with parents too well having gone through this with both my mom and dad. Take care of yourself too and my prayers will be with your dad and you all. Hugs

Dear Linda, my sweet friend, your table looks wonderful I LOVE all the plates and things ... I would buy those too ( if I would have space ;O) ...)So sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope, he will get better soon! Lovely picture from your Mum and Dad! Sending my prayers too for you all!Lots of love and hugs and blessings,Claudia xoxo

Love the new MC dishes you got and of course the flatware too! I have admired the butterfly pattern too. That courtly check pattern makes such a good accent. I'm glad you can use the napkin rings! Sorry your dad is having all these problems. I pray for his comfort as he transitions during this time and for you, your mom and brothers.

Hi, Linda! I'm really to hear about your parents' health issues. It sounds like you're on top of it, and it's good that you are able to monitor the status.

I've not done a lot of commentary on posts over the last little while, but I wanted to let you know how this tablescape has inspired me. Our kitchen is decorated with a mix of buffalo checks and toile. Lightening it up a bit with color and "movement" as you have done here is great inspiration!

Your table is very pretty (they had lots of Butterfly at the warehouse sale, wish I knew you were collecting it as it was marked down so low!) Pretty compotes and they look so pretty with the dishes! I am also using MC dishes for easter! Hope your dad feels well soon!
