This week's table is our bi-annual tribute to our right to vote - set for both family Democrats and Republicans. We don't allow any discussion of politics anymore (sadly since 2016.) Gone are the days of mild banter between the family party members. Today, we just visit and enjoy each other's company and the good food.
Pat set the table in traditional "party colors" of red and blue. She even pulled out the party napkins that she made years ago - blue Democrat and red Republican together with our Mother's flag napkin rings purchased many years ago.
Where it came from:
Blue and Red Place Mats - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond several years ago
Dinnerware - "Scarlett" and "White" Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Macy's, Kohl's, and Replacements,Ltd.
Star Accent Plates - "Stars & Stripes" by Pfaltzgraff from Replacements,Ltd.
