Timing and Dinner
Last week we sat down in the living room at 8pm and finished at 9:30. Our schedule includes opening review of last week, watching the DVD, discussion, and prayer. I think I’ll do the opening review from my notes so that it’s brief.

We should really start sitting in the living room around 7:30pm; but of course, this is dependent on people getting here. I had mentioned the idea of having a potluck style dinner prior to our starting time and Beka had expressed an interesting in giving it a try. This would give us all a chance to get here earlier and to spend a little time chatting freely prior to starting at 7:30. Another reason we start late is because people are just wanting to chat, so dinner together would help do that, or I could be totally wrong; at least we can give it a try and see if it works. We don’t have to try anything fancy, which means we don’t need to labor over preparing special meals. Simple stuff like casseroles, salads, hot dogs, pasta, bread and cheese, etc. We just want enough food so that our stomachs are not grumbling and our children are satisfied. And of course, save room for coffee.
