Here’s this week’s personal history challenge/prompt: Dinner Time
Week 32: Dinner Time. On a typical childhood evening, who was around the dinner table? Was the meal served by one person, or was it a free-for-all? What is dinner time like in your family today?
Lisa Millar, resident of Gilbert, AZ gives her answer to this week’s challenge. One of her favorite things to do is cook delicious, appetizing, visually appealing food.
She says, “I remember Mom, Dad and brothers and sisters at childhood meals. The meal was served by my mom. Today, dinner time consists of me taking two hours to make a gourmet meal and my kids complaining about how many bites they have to eat and that it isn’t Chicken McNuggets or Mac and Cheese.”
Ahhh, the frustrations of motherhood!
Family History Challenge: Take time to record and preserve your own personal history as well as taking care of your family’s genealogy. Use these prompts, as you see fit, to chip away at recording your memories as well as life’s lessons learned for the benefit of future generations. Use your computer or record your memories on paper. If you have a blog, post them there. These make great prompts for interviewing relatives, too.
Thank you to Amy Coffin of the We Tree blog for putting together this wonderful series. These prompts are listed on www.geneabloggers.com-- a valuable shared community resource. Posts from other GeneaBloggers will be found there, too.
