Once a month, at our house we would share a meal (everyone would bring something) with our two sons, their spouses, our daughter and our grandson. And occasionally a dog or two or three. It was my dream come true - coffee, dessert, and everyone sitting around the table playing games and laughing. <br /><br />And then my younger son took his family - including our ONLY grandchild - and moved 5 hours away.

It was funny the choices the couples made. I laughed at the guy who said "Not in my house" to his wife's idea of Justin Beeber. Then came those precious children and they all said family or Mom and Dad and that one little guy who asked so seriously if it had to be a celebrity. Like Mary above, I had tears "streaming down my face." We can learn so much from our little ones.

It's not a big planned party. It's just us together, sharing a meal and laughing together. It's my most favorite day of the month.Southern Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101132263339427001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-90457786075784110062016-03-09T07:39:25.494-06:002016-03-09T07:39:25.494-06:00you never cease to do it to me, Miz Boo...
