Loved this description of hospitality and the examples you shared of those who have led the way. I've always wanted to be naturally hospitable. Alas, I am not.

Our heritage, whatever it may be, is a treasure. The recipes, the pictures, the memories, but especially the traditions such as hospitality - those are our real inheritance from those brave ones who left everything behind and came with open hearts and minds to a new world.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-62560933442286316312010-05-05T14:47:45.611-07:002010-05-05T14:47:45.611-07:00What a touching story and a sweet tribute to your ...What a touching story and a sweet tribute to your mom and aunts. Sometimes, I think hospitality is a dying art. But since I started blogging in March, I have been encouraged to see that there are still women out there with the gift of hospitality... and it is a gift... from our Heavenly Father, the giver of all good gifts!Miss Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912779661977359332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-49311815249384730232010-05-05T14:04:52.368-07:002010-05-05T14:04:52.368-07:00i appreciated this post judy.

Opening one's heart and home to anyone is so much a part of what our lives should be. These dear aunts of yours left a true legacy for the rest of your family. Hospitality begins in the heart, and shows itself upon entering one's front door. The hardship that they endured did not change their spirit. What a legacy, and what a challenge for me to remember.Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-14479999684484869532010-05-05T10:16:56.846-07:002010-05-05T10:16:56.846-07:00Judy thanks so much for your wonderful thoughts ab...Judy thanks so much for your wonderful thoughts about Mom and Aunt Ann.

I sure miss those coconut macaroons... and swimming in the big ditch... and monopolizing the bathroom with my cousins just so we could giggle all afternoon... and in later years the much-appreciated letters that I'd have to read aloud because only by hearing and seeing would my rusty German allow me to understand what Aunt Mary was writing. How I admired these two special, laughing ladies! (even though we didn't always appreciate the hugs and kisses!)Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183404267160772530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-62388067151440459172010-05-05T07:26:08.428-07:002010-05-05T07:26:08.428-07:00Judy. . .I enjoyed this post and as it often does....Judy. . .I enjoyed this post and as it often does. .it gave me pause for reflection of the aunts that also made me feel welcome. <br />I still have a very special aunt that is always willing to lend me her ear. . <br />The picuture is so special.
