It’s possible that the green drink is Green River.

I may be wrong. But when I look at the contents of that bowl placed to the left of the Virginia ham, I am reminded of my Grandma’s fried eggplant. Oh, to be served a Melmac plate topped with an arrangement of fried and boiled foods. Made all the more delicious by a large crimson dot from the ketchup bottle Grandma never failed to put on the table ‘fer supper’.

Green jello or not, this photo is just plain sweet. You can tell this is a moment the family is proud of – the house is all fixed up and everyone is looking forward to a yummy and
special meal. Those were the days when we didn’t worry about the contents in everything we ate and enjoyed the food more. I made lots of jello molds, didn’t think about artificial coloring, sugar or salt content and we really loved those jello desserts with fruit, nuts,
whipped cream, etc. These three guys in the picture are innocent of all that and good for them!

Family Dinner Tip #9: Napkins stay tucked in so much better when one’s shirt is buttoned all the way to the top!

How about the chairs, which look like the ones my mom still has in her dining room. Also included are chairs from the kitchen. We always added folding chairs around our table. Those dining room sets built in the sixties never provided enough seating for the extended family.

Yikes, it’s creepy how much I see me at that age in that kid on the right. And the meal is MORE than a little familiar. But where are the FRIED foods? LOL

Another winner, Charles!

Papa must be an engineer with all that stuff hanging out of his breast pocket. They brought in that great breakfast dinette chair with the chrome legs for visiting aunt Mary Sue.
