Putting time into our parents is so important. I think, however, that our parents understand that we, like them, need an outlet, something that brings us joy, peace, satisfaction. Whatever that outlet is - a round of golf, a few hours in front of a sewing machine, swishing down the ski slopes, or even putting our skills & talents into the setting of a beautiful table - it is important to round us out, complete us as a person, bring us a bit of happiness. I am a homemaker. A proud homemaker. Part of "making" my home is putting pretty touches to it that make my hard-working husband, my family & friends who come to visit, and myself feel special. When a person sits down to a table that is "set" - whether it be a pretty dish, a flower, or a napkin that evokes memories of times past - they know they are loved. They know an effort, however grand or small, has been put into making that meal one that nourishes not only the body, but the soul. There's nothing at all frivolous about that. Hugs to you.Alycia Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690591304562176674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013729586202663174.post-80628052706234976542013-02-17T20:27:59.797-05:002013-02-17T20:27:59.797-05:00I'm one of the lucky ones who have been able t...I'm one of the lucky ones who have been able to be a part of what you do best. When ever I'm sitting at one of your beautifully set tables, eating a meal that was thoughtfully planned out, I feel the love that you put forth. I am thankful for 25 years of sharing treasured times around your table.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173228468750829206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013729586202663174.post-61404455441030158742013-02-17T18:01:18.309-05:002013-02-17T18:01:18.309-05:00Beautifully said.
