MONDAY MANNERS: LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE. Bring your manners along.

HELLO FROM MY CORNER OF THE WORLD.

PROPER ETIQUETTE AND MANNERS MATTER.  Came across this information and wanted to share.

Our WEATHER has been summertime HOT.  Had a little rain and it cooled off some.

My reading pile has grown and is piling up beside my recliner.  Mostly about health issues.

Television Time is limited to evening movies these days.  No daytime shows to watch because I choose not to.

Menu:  I continue to focus on vegetables to enhance our health and assist me in downsizing my 'ole body.  Finished a 21 days of the Daniel Diet/FAST.  Yippee.  Tonight I'm eating Spaghetti and meat-ta balls to celebrate.  This week I will play it by ear on the menu.

TO DO LIST: Is forever changing, so I am hanging loose on this.  I need to paint the dining room and will very soon.

Creating:  Seems like I'm creating more messes when working at organizing.

Something To Share:  This post with a link about MANNERS.

Prayer List:  Hubby has non-hodgkins lymphoma.  Praying for health and well being.  I need to overcome being obese.  Downsizing.

God bless you.

The Child at Table

“In eating soup the child must dip his spoon away from him—turning the outer rim of the spoon down as he does so....” “In being taught to use knife and fork together, the child should at first cut only something very easy, such as a slice of chicken....” “Having cut off a mouthful, he thrusts the fork through it, with prongs pointed downward and conveys it to his mouth with his left hand. He must learn to cut off and eat one mouthful at a time.” “When no knife is being used, the fork is held in the right hand, whether used ‘prongs down’ to impale the meat or ‘prongs up’ to lift vegetables” “Bread should always be broken into small pieces with the fingers before being buttered.” “When he has finished eating the child should lay his knife and fork close together, side by side, with handles toward the right side of his plate.”
