15-Day Challenge: Day 5 Dinner Party

We're already 1/3 of the way through Sar's 15-Day Challenge, and I'm still blogging. Who knew? Here's the prompt for today:

[5] If you could have dinner with any five people, who would they be?

Since this is all imaginary, I'm going to assume my dinner companions could be living or dead. I'd choose these five people: My husband, Wally; my son, Scott; my daughter, Sarah; my Dad; and my Mom. I think it would be wonderful for my kids and husband to get the opportunity to meet my parents (who are long gone), and understand a little bit more about how I got the way I am. This nut did not fall far from those trees! I would also love for my parents to know that I turned out OK (just OK) and that the examples they set for me really did take. It would be wonderful to hear more about my parents' childhoods and the events that shaped their worlds.

  1. I think you turned out better than okay! You're the best mom ever, which must have been hard because you didn't get your mom for a long time. I'm so grateful that you're my mom!

  2. Great list! I chose family too! It's always nice to just sit down together & talk about a little of everything!

  5. OK. Really, just OK? Liz, you and your siblings turned out to be every bit as awesome as the terrific parents who raised you. I know your time with them was to short but I believe every day they watch over you and your sibs and beam with pride.
