Thank you and Jack and Jill Manassas-Woodbridge Chapter for the invitation to work with your teens on dining etiquette. They were a true delight and also so eager and helpful! I hope it was a great experience for them as well. 💜

I almost got rid of this bag. And to be honest, I’ve always hated these straps, but I loved that the bag was purple so I bought it a long time ago. When I started to chuck it into the Goodwill (after years of not using it), it was like a 💡 moment: can I find a fix on Amazon first? 🤔 And now I have a bag I love even more than when I first bought it!

In last week's newsletter, we posed a trivia question. If you need to get up from a table, where do you place your napkin: on your chair or the table? Answer: back on the table. Think about it: why would you place the very item that touches your mouth onto your chair where you (and others) sit, then back against your mouth? Plus, if you are careful to observe the principles of table etiquette (e.g. no phones on the table, used flatware placed on plates and not the table, anything that falls on the floor doesn't go back on the table, etc.) - then the table is likely to be a cleaner place to set your napkin instead of the seat (or arm or back) of a chair. Later this month, we'll show you "HOW" to place your napkin back on the table.
