Now, before you start thinking that I’m totally losing the plot, I’ll explain the title. I received a writing prompt: “Write about a table where you have eaten meals.” The table I’m using is our kitchen table. It is one quarter of 2-drop leaf and 2-“D” end tavern table from the late 1700. During the Revolutionary War it resided in a tavern in the Fort Edward/Hudson Falls area. 1-D end and 1-drop leaf section was passed down through my mother’s family. I have no idea where the other two parts went. The D end is up in our bedroom (which still has some of our Christmas villages on it…but that’s a story for another time).
I love that table, too, but I am glad you have it as it wouldn’t have fit in to my apartment.
