I like to sit at the table for our tea, all together.
I have to admit that it doesn't always happen, mainly because the table is a bit of a dumping ground, but we do manage to sit down for 3 or 4 meals a week.
We always start by saying grace, and we always ask each other how our days went.
It's never a quiet affair...the kids talk more than they eat....but it's the only time we are ever in the same room at the same time these days, so I just savour it as family time, noisy or not!!
And it's an added bonus, of course, if the plates are cleaned, or even half cleaned!
Today I am grateful for my 17 year old dining table. It has served us well, not only for eating on, but for card making, painting, lego building....and generally dumping stuff on!
Funny how you take things for granted until you focus on them for a short while! Then you realise what they mean to you!!!
Gratefully yours.
