Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.  Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.  ~Jane Howard

...my parents backyard. 
3 picnic tables.
always a stock pot, a pot of rice (my mother is hawaiian, we ate it 3 times a day growing up), wine, flowers, lemonade, tea and paper plates. ha. oh..and usually somebody has a birthday..so..cake. 
or..we just eat birthday cake because regardless. ;)


my favorite place to go to eat...their house.
....i still get a little out of body when somebody is sitting in my seat at the dinner table...
....it is the reason i am loud. really loud. and the reason why all my siblings are loud.
.....and funny.
...i think you become loud and funny at dinner. this was before wine was allowed. ha.
...because with too many kids at a table ya gotta figure out how anybody can hear you...


i live for sunday dinners, and cake parties..and low country shrimp boils, and fresh salad from my dad's garden. and grilled chicken. and chicken salad and green bean cassarole. i love food. it's obvious. but more than that, it's not about the food...it's about my family all together...
..okay..and the cake.
:)
just sayin'.
