Thanks for the fond memories. There were always LOTS of people at Grandpa's
for festive dinners -- the claw-footed table was stretched to full capacity.
An aisle had to be left open so that the food and dishes could be carried to
and fro from the kitchen. That meant that the kid's table was landlocked in
the back of the room The most important thing was to remember to go to the
bathroom before you were seated at the kid's table, because once you were
there, you weren't getting out for 2-3 hours. ;o}
