Gramma Evie: I'm learning to tweet.
Family meal time is one of the most important times of the day, next to tucking kids into bed and letting them tell you about their day.
I really miss our huge 12 person table and the conversations we used to have. Mom, Dad, all 8 of us kids and what ever dinner guests that happened by.
For years, I tucked my son in and we talked about his day. At 25 he still calls with important details about how life is going. Now days,I tuck in bonus grand kids and they tell me about their day.
We were never allowed phone or TV during dinner. We never called another house during dinner time and we never called after 9pm.
I still hesitate calling after 9pm unless I know for sure the person is still up. I also do not call until 10am in the morning.
