Table Manners

You know, down here in the south we may talk a little bit slower, but you know our Mama's teach us our manners.  Well, after I saw this little advertisement that showed like a fourth of a piece of an artwork that inspired this little bit of loveliness.  It reminded me fondly of hearing my mother pound  gently encourage good table manners into part of our everyday life.  So being from the south and recollecting these very phrases coming from the mouth of my darling mother, and yes, Haven, from my many experiences in 4-H when we were expected to go on our trips and dine as if we had a little class and didn't hop off the bus without shoes on, this little gem was born.

I must say she is cute, Steve even commented that he REALLY liked it.  I must admit, I have caught myself staring across the living room and looking at the buffet to admire.  It's funny how a few little words can remind you of a "sweet spot" in your past.  And thank you mother for teaching me how to be polite at the dinner table, it has indeed come in handy...who would have known?
