Special Dinner
What are you waiting for? When was the last time you used that “special” china, the good silverware and the crystal glassware? Thanksgiving or Christmas? Easter is coming…. Why wait for holidays to take out the special place setting for our families?
When I was growing up my mom served most Sunday suppers (yes, I said supper. Growing up on a farm we had supper!) on her best china, with grandma’s silverware and crystal glasses, that mom and dad received as a wedding gift in 1965. My mom believed that the “good stuff” was meant to be used and shared with the people she loved. It was important that we as children learned to set a formal table, use cloth napkins and knew what fork to use and when.
When my brother’s and my families come home, we always eat in the dining room with the good dishes. This is my mom’s way to say you are important to me and I want you to have my best.
What are you waiting for? Make a special dinner for your family. Use the good dishes that only come out on special occasions. Some of you may have dishes that have never been used. Celebrate being a family. Let your family know they are special and they deserve your best!
Blessings
