Family
I remember watching “The Waltons” when I was a kid, seeing the family gathered around the big table sharing meals. Even though my family wasn’t nearly as big as the Walton clan, family mealtime was an important part of my childhood where the vast majority of our meals were eaten at the dining room table. One of the only exceptions was during harvest, when we would occasionally eat a meal on the tailgate of the pickup out in the field, but we would still all be together. Even now, there is nothing like family holidays, with everyone gathered together for great food, conversation and lots of laughter.
