"The oval table in our dining room "

"was the gathering place for hopes and dreams, "

"the listening place for prayers and petitions, "

"and the loving place for joy and laughter. "

"But on Sunday it was something more — "

"it was a special place for family and friends. "

"Sunday was an important day for us; "

"it was a day when everything — "

"from the clothes we wore "

"to the spoons we used — was distinctive. "

"After church I would help with Sunday dinner, "

"first by smoothing a beautiful white cloth over the oval table. "

"The delicate china and ornate silver service were laid out. "

"Then Tante Anna would emerge from the kitchen, "

"wiping her hands, and ring a little bell. "

""Come to dinner, everyone." "
