We were all excited to eat the foods we had chosen for this week. My 3yo said, "This is a funny dinner, but it sure is delicious!" It's all about sharing the excitement of the new and loving the delicious natural flavors of God's creation.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06688151837498009252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468471283937804953.post-61646722561603196062009-03-02T09:12:00.000-06:002009-03-02T09:12:00.000-06:00Your comments remind me of a favorite (old) book b...Your comments remind me of a favorite (old) book by Thomas Howard, "Splendor in the Ordinary," which was later retitled, "Hallowed Be This House."

They've been coming in from everywhere: emails, Facebook, blogs, etc. Looks like everyone had so much fun.
