back to 30.

If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be and what would you eat?

i have no idea.
really-
i don't know who i would eat with
in part because i take the invitation to break bread
VERY seriously

meals are personal
they are moments within a family, a partnership, single life
where time and thought have gone into the decision to 
nourish
others-the one you love-you

maybe i'm taking it too seriously
but dinner is the time that our family has used to
come together
even if we are screaming through each bite
its 
us
in our seats
looking to where 
mcgregor sits

maybe i would ask 

grandpa (arthur) and grammie (dorothy) 
grammie scotland and grandpa scotland
aunt jean and uncle sam
aunt anna
uncle jim
grandpa don and baldy...

to eat with us
they were important people-historically important people-for many important and irrelevant 
reasons
and eating with them would be something else!
that i can guarantee

my important people are part of history's past...while i'm sure that there are others who might be interesting enough
in conversation and companionship
nothing can change what it means to know the generations of your family

bringing me full circle...meals are about family.
do something amazing with your life and be the historically relevant person who sits at your OWN table...i know you can

loving you forever,
momma
