Fast food is never allowed

                           


They do it for me, I do it for them, We do it for him.......

Together we've shared more than four months of Sunday's since the day John left us behind; it's quickly evolving into a new family tradition.....

Each week, the family gathers together at my house for dinner. Yes, the "event" is always here, but the responsibility is revolving. Here's how it works....

Me and each of my kids/spouses takes turns hosting Sunday dinner. It's the responsibility of the host/hostess to  provide the appetizers, and dinner on his or her designated day.....AND... (this is my personal favorite) we've established the rule: No Fast Food Allowed, so creative menu planning and cooking are a must.

We eat, we drink, we laugh, we cry, we play, we sing, and yes, we have real discussions; we take comfort in each other, we take comfort in being a family.....we love.....

Don't get me wrong, there's a part of me that will always love Friday.....but for now Sunday is my favorite day....a day where family is what matters, and fast food is never allowed.....
