Although my soft boiled egg wasn’t as soft as I had hoped to have good dipping with my toast soldiers, they were all very tasty. I am still loving my egg cups! The top came off easily and the egg came slipping out of the shell when I got down to it. I enjoyed fresh pineapple and watermelon chunks with some Scottish Breakfast Tea from Taylors of Harrogate. The special part was the wee antique porcelain teapot and plate from Dave’s family. The maker’s mark on the bottom says Hand Paint Nippon. The use of this particular “nippon” stamp began in 1891 in response to the U.S. McKinley Tariff Act, which forbade the import of items that weren’t “plainly marked, stamped, branded, or labeled in legible English words.” Nippon is an English word approximating a pronunciation of the Japanese word for Japan, but in 1921, the word was ruled Japanese in origin, so Nippon was no longer accepted by U.S. Customs Agents. From then on, imported Noritake china was simply stamped Japan. As a result of the short time period where Nippon was used on the stamp, some of the items marked as Nippon can sell for much higher prices. Which also means there are a LOT of repoductions out there. This is very heavy porcelain and has aged paint, but it’s in great shape. Looking online, it appears the stamp on this is legit, but after investigating the pattern all afternoon I was unable to locate this exact one. There are two similar ones, but the tree is on the wrong side and it’s different. So, out little treasure is either a reproduction, or a rare pattern that could potentially be worth a little bit of money. I truly don’t even think it’s a teapot, but I used it as one today. It will continue to hold a spot in the china cabinet. #tea #teapot #antique #teaandtoast #teatime #scottishbreakfasttea #taylorharrogate #nippon #toast #tulip

Although it’s not a good video with the glare and being on my iPad , I’m glad I was able to capture just how close the eagles have been to the house. I saw this one land and was trying my best to sneak up to the doors so I didn’t scare him off. You can see his white head at the immediate beginning of the clip. Apparently he’s just making a stop at the local Home Depot to get some building supplies for home as he flies away with a pretty good sized tree limb. #maine #lifeonthestream #wildlife #baldeagle #eagle

Current view. I’m so glad the ice on the stream is almost complete melted. #maine #lifeonthestream

Seriously. Check out I love Lucy on Hulu. Each episode is filled with fun filled with laughter.#ilovelucy

Seriously! Check out “The schedule” episode. Such fun watching Lucy, Ethel and the bosses wife throw food at one another because Lucy has been subjected to a schedule. #Ilovelucy

After a depressing afternoon, I ALWAYS rely on I LOVE LUCY as a pick me up. Soaking in the tub watching the VITAMEATAVEGAMIN episode. Never fails to make me smile and laugh no matter how many times I’ve seen it. I know my late mother always loved that I found these episodes so funny. Even though my late father met Lucille Ball in person and asked for a date. We BOTH loved Lucy! #ILoveLucy #classicTV #LUCY
