I understand, :) thanks. When we have a lot of people over about more than eight) then we don't have a sit down meal, just because we don't have enough place at the table. I didn't want to offend anyone, if I did I apologize for that.
I think everyone understands your reasoning....and I don't think you hurt anyone's feelings. When I was a kid, my grandma's table was way too small for all of us and so we ate in "shifts". Men ate first, then the kids and finally the women. I always thought that was strange too -- why did I have to wait until last to eat when I'd help prepare all that food and it was getting cold??? :lol: :lol: But NO ONE questioned my grandma :lol: :lol: :lol:
