While some might tend to attribute the lack of such to being "poor", the reality is that it is pervasive across the socioeconomic spectrum. I count myself as one who envies you in this regard.RAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175702709970840004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10909532.post-88611881602592698192007-07-02T14:33:00.000-07:002007-07-02T14:33:00.000-07:00Our family tea time where we drink tea, eat goodie...Our family tea time where we drink tea, eat goodies and read poetry and stories is still a highlight of the week. I can see why your students enjoyed their snack and story time. That's fabulous!<BR/><BR/>I remember reading a book called "Table Talk" by Mimi Wilson and Mary Beth Lagerborg about rediscovering the lost art of family meals and being floored. In my small little world growing up the idea that family meals were <I>not</I> normal was jarring to me. Now that my world has expanded I know that is a reality for many people, but it still makes me sad. There is nothing like breaking bread together to foster community--family or an extended group of friends.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674233413041873993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10909532.post-65194792659210417212007-07-02T14:19:00.000-07:002007-07-02T14:19:00.000-07:00hi renny. i noticed on facebook :) that you said ...hi renny. i noticed on facebook :) that you said no one reads your blog anymore, so now i'm here reading:)Erin Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568685783300229744noreply@blogger.com
