Grand Opening

GRAND OPENING MOM’S PLACE Simple fare simply prepared by MOM THE MENU You will eat what Mom cooks Sit where Mom tells you to sit Eat what Mom puts in front of you. Dessert will be served* *(if mom thinks you deserve it) There will be no hats, books, cell phones, or video games at the table The clatter of silverware, the antics of children the hum of conversation The moments shared and Apple Pie 9/6/2016

Wow I like the idea of this old is gold supper poem. Indeed this is how suppers should be, without hi-tech distractions and more family togetherness. Kudos for this unique poem, enjoyed reading from u again.
