You’d think that I’d have learned my lesson by now. Every time I get too full of myself or too self satisfied, something happens to right the balance. I bought a lovely sugar bowl from Amazon and packed it in my checked luggage from Boston to Khartoum. I kept the bowl in the original packaging to make sure that it would not break. As I got my luggage today, I took it out of the box and admired it, congratulating myself on my excellent packing job. As I reached to place the sugar bowl on a kitchen shelf, the lid slid off and shattered. I’m thinking that I can still use the sugar bowl sans lid. The images that I previously had of my beautiful tea parties need to be reworked.
