I have been wanting to clear all the clutter off our dining table, and put the leaves in, as well as a new cloth on it. Got it done, Hope hubby will help me keep it looking good for a while. I have put various small Christmas decor up and down the length of it. They have battery operated candles, so it looks pretty sweet. Hubby is making sandwiches for us--he calls them "grinders". Deli sandwiches in rolls. I appreciate him doing it. I really feel ready to eat.

Grinders, hoagies, subs. . . they are all the same thing.

Grinders, hoagies and subs are all that oblong bread. Sliders I think of as mini burgers or mini deli sandwiches. There are days when a slider would be all I would care for.

It is pretty. I have plaid fabric I hemmed to make this cloth. It is navy blue but has red and green and white and a little yellow plaid.

I cleared off my dining table earlier in the week, but it's starting to collect things again. Sigh.

Any flat surface here collects "things". Never ending battle.

My table is always a mess. It seems to be where we do a lot of things.

Hubby puts lots of things on the table, like at least once a week the mail, and some receipts, and condiments. I put things in transition on the table. Need to stop that and figure out where things really go.

Setting out cheer in winter sure does lift the mood. I should see what else I can do to make my house a bit more festive. Anything set out must be cat proof and dog tail proof.

The cats here are loving jumping and sliding across the newly cleaned table.

They are grinders, depending on where you are from. Hope you enjoyed yours. Sounds like your table looks wonderful

Yes, hubby did part of his growing up, and some of his young adult years in Middletown, RI. I know that is regional.

I dressed and decorated the table in the dining room for Christmas. It will stay decorated until the Day of 3 Kings. Husband can use another table.

When he is hungry for certain things, he makes them.
