I don’t feel like writing much today so I’m posting another photo.

Weekly Photo Challenge | Home for Lunch

Home For Lunch

This is what my Mom’s dinner table looked like for the holidays or any big family gathering.

To the right, at the back, is the kitchen where there was another table set up.

You can read more about all the mismatched chairs at: or not – Sundays With Mom.

Are you taking part in the Weekly Photo Challenge?

The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.

      No problem Nancy, she did and most of the food was all prepared by her. She would allow us to bring a dessert or maybe an extra vegetable dish but she always made sure there was enough for everybody. 🙂

      Hi Timmer, I can’t remember exactly how many this day, except to say that it was Christmas and my brother came up from Florida with his family. Usually there were anywhere from the low to high 20’s for lunches. 🙂

      Hi Barb, my Mom loved it when everyone was home for the holidays, especially with all her grandchildren. We also had highchairs at times for some of them. 🙂

      Hi Tony, you had my laughing on that one. Good thing I had already swallowed my coffee. 🙂

      No Waltons, just the family home for Christmas. But with 8 kids, spouses, grandchildren, it is a large family. 🙂

      It’s a lot of fun seeing how everyone interprets the one word WordPress gives us.

    Thanks for the nostalgic memories…I loved our family gatherings, much like this. And kiddie tables..and now, well it’s just me…

    And I’m okay with it. Most of the time, anyway.
