A Jubilee Anniversary Celebration
Now-a-days it is very seldom that we get together at a table to enjoy a meal without the cell phone or TV on.
This year instead of going out we decided to stay home to celebrated our 17th Wedding Anniversary, making it a “Jubilee Meal”.
I remember my Mother telling us when she was young how her mother put on a “Jubilee Meal”.
Quote from “ Hughenna’s Story”, my mother’s story.
“My mother always taught us during the long winter holiday. This kept us out of mischief and helped us to be well up in our schoolwork. She had a wonderful system of getting us to earn one hundred marks a day. When we reached one thousand marks we had a “Jubilee”. That consisted of a holiday and a special meal with some special treat on the table. Alain white cake with apple frosting was a feast. She set the table with the nicest dishes and a pink tablecloth. Just we children ate at the table, which was made small for the occasion; the pink cloth didn’t fit a big table. Those were happy days, how little it takes to make one happy”
Randal and Lorraine's Wedding Anniversary Meal Celebration
All electronics turned off.
Table set with place mats, decorated with an artificial red rose and bottle of Mateus wine.
Menu consisted of: Chicken Cordon Bleu made from prepared frozen chicken patties, fresh garden vegetables, cucumber and tomato slices
For the first time in ages, we sat across from each other, talked and ate as slow as we could, taking less than 20 minutes!
It was a special event and how little things make us happy!
