Jaime Lee has an interesting blogpost on the "formal family dining room table" worth checking out. She asks whether or not the formal dining room table is becoming extinct. It seems we all grew up with a separate table to eat when having family get-together(s) or hosting dinner parties. However it seems that those of us in our twenties and thirties don't even bother eating at tables never mind setting a formal one. Do we even eat together as families?
As a newly married couple - Wendy and I would often eat our supper in front of the TV watching whatever was on. But we intentionally moved our meals back to the table once we had kids. We both felt it was an important connecting point for us as a family and one that we were not willing to lose. We don't have a separate formal dining room table but we do have a family table and a bar-style eating area off our kitchen counter. We just wouldn't have the space for a separate dining area. Feel free to post your thoughts on JL's Procrastination Attempts - I'm sure she'd appreciate some dialogue and it is an interesting topic!

No problem - thought you needed some site action...not sure it worked though.
