Dang, I guess I left some of the info out on this post! This is a potluck lunch. You will need to bring your own plates, cups, forks etc. and of course a covered dish to share. We can begin unloading as early as 9:00 a.m. This pavillion is very easy to unload for. Just pull right up to it. After you have unloaded pull your vehicle over to the parking area next to the tennis courts. There is electricity available. The cost of the pavillion rental was $35.

Hi Gayle! I look forward to seeing you there. As a newbie, I'm guessing you can sure bring those bougainvillea's. I'm trying not to be selfish, so if some else has their heart set on them, no problem. If not, I would give them a new home! It's been a while since I have had one, but they are very nice. I might have something there that you would like. Several of what I have are very hard to kill! Tonya

I have a Nippon book but don't see that mark in there. Usually says " hand painted" . Think we need larger pics. I'm thinking the subject matter is Eskimos at work & on cup Eskimo in some type of boat. Unusual handle on cup, didn't see it in the Nippon book but doubt mine has all the patterns. As far as who it belonged to you would need proof, the General sitting at table with them in from of him, letter from the family etc. Don't see plain flower mark in either of my marks books either.

Hey guys, thanks for all the great comments & suggestions. I’ll try to answer everything here in no particular order... The water levels were bumped up (quarter turn) a couple years ago. Things did improve & I have watched the machine run through all the cycles on many occasions. The water goes up just past the door on the cotton cycle. It’s running fine, no error codes or early drains that I see. I’m going to check the lint trap asap. We don’t have any water softener as the water is notoriously soft in the area. As far as Turbo clean, when I haven’t used it the laundry was even less clean. For reference I had compared the lint from TC vs regular & there must be much less agitation w TC (pic attached). At the moment I’m still experimenting w Pur Clean but I think I’ll try the All free pods since my local store has a small pack. Ariel is off my list & I’m thinking since Persil is for hard German water w/ long, hot cycles it may not be the best fit. I’ll consider Tide Ultra SR & Kirkland but I’m hoping All will get the job done as it ranked pretty high. EDIT Techs looked at it before I raised water levels & it was fine even though I was having worse problems then
