Indeed...although our family gatherings are nowhere near the size they used to be.

Growing up, the adults squeezed in to eat at the "grown ups" dining room table and all of the kids (cousins) had to sit at numerous card or "kid" tables, set up in the living room and kitchen.

The memory of the feast spread out on that dining room table will never be forgotten ;-)

I treasure my childhood memories of family holiday gatherings, too.

I’ve been very blessed and I’m grateful.
