I had found the gravy boat from my mother's China service.
But beyond the events of the flood, the gravy boat is a treasure that connects me to the people and the places of my past.
I said to myself right then that nothing would ever happen to that gravy boat as long as I lived.
Then I reached under my pillow and took out the gravy boat.
But that little gravy boat is much more than an heirloom to me.
I was more turned on by this gravy boat than by Barry.
When we were seated, one of the guests noticed the beat-up gravy boat I'd placed among the newer, better dinnerware.
Now I use the gravy boat just as she had, taking it carefully from the shelf and filling it just as she did with dark, rich Turkey gravy for family dinners and other special occasions.
