Family home evenings (FHE) are get-togethers scheduled by Mormons each Monday evening where each family in the church comes together for an informal meeting at home. Sometimes a lesson is given, counsel and organization of the family needs taken care of, games played, music sung and refreshments served. Everyone has a role to play and the duties rotate between family members: refresh-ments, games, songs, lesson, conducting, etc. The purpose is to spend at least an hour weekly as a family, but after you retire most empty nest parents forego having FHEs. Our local church group decided to get together as couples once a month and have a FHE. Our first one was a pot luck get together. (Photo above the host and hostess of our empty nest second meeting-hubby and me.)
This week was a lesson at our home on "HEALTHY SNACKS." Each couple brought a nutritious snack to share and we had a short lesson on: why we eat food, snacks, what's healthy or unhealthy, and how to improve our snacking. The discussion on choc-olate was interest-ing, then we enjoyed visiting and refreshments. Here's some photos of our group. We had 11 attend. (Right guests: l-r Wanda, Bonnie and Rick enjoying the snack table and below: Marilyn, Bob, Sondra-who helped with the lesson, Norm, and Bill enjoying snacks and conversing. Not shown Merle.)
