When the first pot came home (compliments of Madi) many years ago, I oohed and aahhed sufficiently and then found a nice spot in the top of a glass-doored cabinet in the kitchen where it was available for all to see. When the second came home (compliments of Haley) a year later, I commended Haley for her nice work and found a home for that pot in a small, glass-doored cabinet near the kitchen table. When the third came home (compliments of Sydney), I was grateful I didn't have any more children to take ceramics at Waterford. But it was a truly lovely pot and I searched the kitchen for a place to display it. I decided that the first pot had been on display for long enough and wouldn't Madi really like to have it down at BYU? It was taken down and put in Madi's room. Into the kitchen cabinet went the newest version of the Greek pot. After a couple more years, I decided that I had given due deference to the three pots and offered them back to the girls thinking they might want to share them with their own children someday. Not so. Being the mother that I am, however, I couldn't just throw them away without immortalizing them somehow and then I remembered, I have a camera! So here they are, nestled in the hands of their creators, forever immortalized on the pages of this blog. Farewell pots.
