When we are both here, that is what I am working on.<BR/>Thanks for stopping in my blog today. I laughed because I too was back at Marshalls today. Went back for the dinner plates to the fruit dishes I showed. But then they had new things in and I also got some Transferware red and white dishes also.

I was divorced for 10-years when I met Ricky and married him 8-months later in 2003. We're still trying to mesh those two households (something only someone that has gone through it would understand)... but we are gloriously happy with 6 adult kiddos (3-his 3-mine) and 3-grandkiddos (all mine.. but Ricky adores them and they adore him!)<BR/>I look forward to coming back and reading some of your older posts to get to know you better!<BR/>thanks for visiting me at French Lique! blessings.

Did you know that they say that kids who sit down to dinner in the same spot get fewer colds then kids who do not.

You know, in my cynical moments I think blogging is just a way to present ourselves to the world in the precise way we would like them to see us: free of faults and with perfectly arranged, spotless homes. Certainly there are few of us who can say we really live that way, and I am not one of them. <BR/><BR/>I will say I have maintained the tradition started when I first got married of eating dinner every night at the table when anyone is home, though these days it's usually just my youngest daughter and I. But, if no one is around, I eat in front of the TV or the computer. <BR/><BR/>PS Sounds like you picked out a great menu to lure your family to the table!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337527908766930510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344501512869962974.post-52638460726151710332009-02-19T16:05:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:05:00.000-08:00I loved this post!

When my 3 daughters were at home (1st marriage), we faithfully sat at the table and ate every meal together as a family! I do believe that is an important fascet to family life. Fast forward to my 2nd marriage...now it's just my honey and me and we usually sit in our big easy chairs in the living room and watch TV while eating! Hmmm...is that the right thing to do? I say, whatever works!!! Hehe!!! <BR/><BR/>I do commend you for having a special family Valentines dinner together though! The menu sounded scrumptious!!! And yes...I do still believe in miracles!!!<BR/><BR/>Warmest wishes, my friend!<BR/>ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344501512869962974.post-204518174476187942009-02-19T11:48:00.000-08:002009-02-19T11:48:00.000-08:00Are you eating dinner at the table every night?Are you eating dinner at the table every night?Susan @ The Good Life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10744916625678643941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344501512869962974.post-82431606884509566902009-02-19T11:37:00.000-08:002009-02-19T11:37:00.000-08:00I am SO impressed!!
