I posted this in 2008, but wanted to repost since I have so many different readers now. Such an interesting question. I look forward to reading your answers.
If you were to host a round table discussion, and could invite anyone (dead or alive), who would you include?
A lively dinner party ~

“Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood”

I'd like to have a discussion with:
and
Robin Williams (for levity)

ReplyDeleteGlad it is a big table. :)
I would invite my grandma Betty, my dad's mom. She passed away when I was about 8 years old, but she was a fantastic cook. I've always wished she were around longer, I could have learned so much from her, both in the kitchen, as well as in life. ♥
