I’m just glad I hadn’t poured the coffee when the frog dropped into my cup. I had just carried in the morning paper, appreciating that it seemed a bit heavier than usual, when I heard a distinct plop, and there was this frog, no more than an inch long, smack in the bottom of my cup.

How you decorate will change with the times as well as your age and situation. The choices are varied and imaginative.
