After about twenty-five years or so our old dining room table is done and out. For Christmas I got a brand new beautiful table with lovely padded chairs so the “old girl” needs to go. I know it is breaking hearts with some of our family members but the memories live on. There was home work imprinted in the wood on one end. I had a few zealous school workers I suppose. Then at one end are a whole bunch of little dents – those came from the Grandmas when they were banging the little jars of honey butter for Kyla’s wedding. We never told them – sshhhh. I remember when all four leaves were put in and I practically sat in the livingroom – those were the dinners with nearly everyone here and they were my favorite. She was a great table, she made the back cover of our family cookbook, there were lots of meals, lots of conversations, lots of love, lots of homework, lots of crafting and a lot of being together. Job well done my dear table.
