There were sixteen of us as we sat down to dinner at noon today. Two tables with eight at each table. It worked out beautifully with eight of us in the "over forty" category at one table (the dining room table with the larger chairs) and eight of the "under thirty" category around the expanded table in the breakfast nook. I wanted this to be an opportunity for my grands and their significant others and my spouse's grands to get to know each other better and it really seemed to work out that way, lots of talk and laughter coming from that table. It's such a joy for me and my spouse to sense our families blending.
And speaking of my Wonder Spouse, he was the chef extraordinaire! The meal was amazing - ham, sweet potatoes (my contribution), pineapple stuffing, rolls, cherry pie, apple pie, whipped cream, fudge, and, from the guests, deviled eggs, cheesy potatoes, and cookies. True confession here, the rolls and pies were from our favorite Amish bakery.
All in all, it was a very fine day. "And to all a good night."
