"ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, and eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory. happily for most of us, it is not necessary to have any very special gift of cleverness to be a person with whom others are delighted to talk."
i had this quote written down and stashed away. if my memory serves me right- and there is a chance it does not- i believe these words are written in the vintage emily post 'etiquette' book that sits on a a little table in my new bedroom. i do love that book. it's from the 50's and so politely yummy!!
i have a very special friend who recently moved to miami with her family. i'm incredibly fortunate to have her so close by, i can get to her house in less than an hour!! last weekend, she had me over for dinner and some "ideal conversation". dinner was attended by myself, my friend's mom and mom-in-law, and her daughter. we had a delicious homemade meal... such amazing comfort food! at the table, we also had wine, bubbles, and milk in a sippy cup! the conversation happily bounced from one topic to another. there were questions asked, lessons learned, and lots of laughter from all. the exchange of thoughts from five wonderful women was the ideal conversation for the evening!
