Longing I can so understand. Here, at your house, we push all these different tables we sit at together and make one big Mel's Table. I like it here. You are a most wonderful hostess. Thank you for what you do for all of us each and every day.

Your table, for example, it's comfy here, and no need to look over your shoulder or to look around wondering whether they all think you are a fraud and should get the hell out. Unfortunately, not all tables are like that. So we congregate where we can actually enjoy the meal and the company. Because really, it's not just our imagination. <BR/>Can you tell I am a little grumpy today?Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745262857388007041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-56958471972324729632007-12-08T23:46:00.000-05:002007-12-08T23:46:00.000-05:00You certainly manage to make me feel welcome here....You certainly manage to make me feel welcome here.

I just wanted to tell you I'm holding onto my plate as well.<BR/><BR/>And also that we are a Dan Zanes family too. And I think if my E and your ChickieNob got together, they may very well know the same dance. <BR/><BR/>And also we are a flogging molly family. E sits in the back singing every word. A is singing the last word of every line trying to keep up. They are both rocking out as much as the tight straps of the carseat will allow them to. E asked her barbie "are you rocking out too?". I turn to smile at this dialog and E looks at me, gives me the "rocker hand" (thumb holding 2 middle fingers down, pinky and pointer up in rocker defiance), smiles and says "Rock On Mommy. I think I want to hear the white stripes next."<BR/><BR/>And when we get home and have dinner, that kind of exchange only makes me hold onto my plate even tighter.nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479202205264710056noreply@blogger.com
