<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 222730, member: 121&quot;]Probably originally intended for use in conjunction with a &quot;picnic&quot;.........but that was the very, very, VERY last thing my Gram would have used it for...........Her idea of a picnic involved The Palm Court or Peacock Alley - and that could be considered roughing it depending on which/what nouveau &quot;trash&quot; was around</p><p><br /></p><p>But I distinctly remember her using it during the &quot;summer migration&quot;, because I remember when she could no longer send it by express company (along with a gazillion trunks and crates) and had to arrange for a private trucker each spring. Oh, the horrors, trepidations, and taxing event of having her &quot;companion&quot; make a damned phone call................by the way - the Town House (Winter) and the Home Farm (Summer) were 40 miles apart...............</p><p><br /></p><p>And I know Ma used one in the winter to go south until the airlines wouldn&#039;t let her board it as luggage any longer. She shipped a &quot;permanent&quot; silver service to&nbsp; the house in Florida, but THAT created its own set of problems...................[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
