TV Tables, Sardine Sandwiches and Wonderful World of Disney!



I'm reminiscing today. I'm remembering Sundays from my childhood. Sundays when we would, as a family, attend Scandia Lutheran, and sit in the 3rd pew from the back, pulpit side, every Sunday. The Berg family always sat in front of us. And then, after church, if we didn't walk to Auntie Evelyn's and Uncle Stan's who lived kind of kitty-corner from the yellowy-orange church and have tea, we would head to the farm and have home made buns with sardines. I always rooted for Auntie Evelyn's. I never had sardines at her place. But we always had tea, or more than likely coffee. Juice for the kids. And quite often my older, more sophisticated cousins would polish my nails with the groovy hip colors in their collection - black, yellow, purple, blue.  Mom had clear nail polish. And then, after tea and lunch, if we were at Auntie Evelyn's, or sardines if we were home, we'd alway look forward to The Wonderful World of Disney. A great way to end the weekend if you ask me! We'd pull out the the TV tables much like the ones in this picture,but with bright colored flowers on a background of white, and have our supper in the living room, and watch Disney on our 1 channeled television.

Tonight we'll have supper in our kitchen - tonight it will be chicken quesadillas with home made guacamole.  After supper we'll head to the various televisions in our home - the ones hooked up with satellite and hundreds of channels and hundreds of remotes and flip through to see what grabs our fancy.

I wonder what my dear children will remember about this time of their lives when they get to the stage of their lives when they will be reminiscing.
