Joe returned home from a business trip tonight bearing gifts (Milano and Chessmen Cookies, Whole Wheat Goldfish and Chocolate Graham Goldfish Crackers) from the Pepperidge Farm Outlet.
Dinner was a little late (7:00 p.m.) and we had the food on the table but trouble rounding up the crew. (I think Susie was hiding in the Mud Room with the kitten on purpose because we were having Potato Corn Chowder and she has an aversion to vegetables in soup).
Frustrated that it took so long to gather, Joe mentioned to the children before praying that when it is time for dinner they will have to leave whatever they are doing and come and wait patiently at the table for all to arrive. I chimed in that growing up my family met around the dinner table at 6:00 p.m. and sometimes we would have to wait for everyone to show up but we knew that dinner was served at six. Jonathan replies very sincerely, "But how could they--they didn't have watches back then!?"

Oh that's awesome! I bet that made you feel great! You should tell him how people didn't have cell phones either :).
Rebekah's testimony was so sweet. She is such a good, thoughtful girl. Love her!
