Din-Ner?

“Ah, the din,
How could one not love
the robust ramblings of humanity?”

Families full, ripe, rotund,
fostering love amongst the feast,
the forage sublime.

Babies squeal.
Mom’s scold.
Dad’s strut, so proud, so bold.

Ah, the din of happy times,
times of feast and fellowship sublime.

Ah, how food makes love shine!

I love this, Deborah and it's so true. My very best family memories revolve around food. With so much happiness in these memories, how can one ever REALLY stay on weight watchers? Luv, andrea

You capture the family dining table experience so well.
