Posted in Simple and Frugal Living
Dinner time can be hectic. There are times when I am just sitting down and everyone is almost done. However, when we don't have any place we have to be dinner is a special time. Instead of sitting down, as we do on days we are leaving promptly after dinner or when we have come home to a late dinner, I set candles on the table and light them. Don't wait for a special occaision. Light those candles for every meal that you can to make it extra special. When I place one candle on the table, it is placed infront of a specific place setting. That person leads the prayer and then tells us something about his/her day. Once he/she is finished they place the candle infront of the next person. We do this until eveyrone has had a turn to speak. There are meals when we are long done before everyone has had a turn, and those are my favorite meal times. Simple, yet wonderful.
These are my thoughts.

The family enjoys RVing, reading, movies, ice hockey, and are on the look out for a new homestead to expand their journey to simplicity.
Leslie finds her respite in reading, anything frugal and simplistic, cooking, scrapbooking, music, and continuing to expand her knowledge of homeopathics, natural living, and walking lightly on the earth. She also maintains a group for barter and trade to help her community become stronger and more resourceful.
