RENEWS HOPE FOR OLD FASHIONED SUNDAY DINNERS!

I can't say enough about this little book. Barbara Sims writes in a way that makes you want to meet her or better yet be invited to Christmas dinner! She breaks down hospitality into doable steps. Her chapter on overnight guest will definately change the way I treat guest. Use all of her ideas or pick and choose. I like that she has ideas for each holiday. I have read this book twice and refer to it often.

Remembering traditions of the past and present

Reading Homemade Hospitality brought back many memories of my childhood and youth when families and friends visited regularly. There were always refreshments available for visitors, including adding more ingredients to stretch the meals. Barbara's ideas for entertaining were delightful and would make any party, luncheon, or overnight visit fun and exciting. The description of her friendship with the dear and precious lady, Mrs. Mary Cunningham, who was my former sixth grade teacher and friend, made the book even more special. This book, in today's rushed and technologically advanced society, reminds us that we should continue family traditions, especially through being hospitable to others--wherever we are.
