About Setting the Table
Sunday dinner had its own ceremony: the tablecloth smoothed to perfect corners, the china lifted gently from the cabinet it lived in all week, and the silverware laid out in its proper order as if the meal itself demanded respect. A low centerpiece of cut roses or a single candle softened the light and made even an ordinary afternoon feel like an occasion. Every detail, the folded napkin, the filled water goblet, the gravy boat waiting at the ready, told everyone who sat down that they were worth the trouble.
