We just bought two smaller, round tables for our breakfast room and patio. It has helped us to want to eat more meals at home, especially breakfast which we mostly ate out. So stupid to pay so much for eggs and toast, which hardly cost anything to fix at home!At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084627553585504389.post-61564398063629518122017-06-10T20:11:13.383-07:002017-06-10T20:11:13.383-07:00Sadly, we don't spend enough time at the dinin...Sadly, we don't spend enough time at the dining table. Usually eat and then get up and do the dishes.

Dennis isn't one to linger after a meal, so I've adjusted to his habit. Even in a restaurant he's pretty much eat and get up and go. Unless we're with friends. Come to think of it, maybe I'm not good company. LOL Just kidding. I think your community around the table is lovely. Well done, Rebecca.

I changed glass wear often...at dining table I used knife rests, glass coasters, and in old days, candles. Not to be hoity toity but to be different, to be interesting.
