I'm back to using cloth napkins, Roy and his son didn't like cloth napkins. Roy would get up to get a paper towel every time. I couldn't retrain them, I tried, I tried so hard. My Roy was the redneck use the sleeve man, but his son is the "how do I know a cloth napkin is clean" type. It wasn't just at my house the twerp was like that he was the same with his own mother. But my boys grew up know how to use a cloth napkin and are now quite well trained. :lol:

I'm afraid that if I tried to use cloth napkins, my hubby would never let me wash it..... :D :hunf:

My family is so used to using our 'family heirloom' napkins (also known as paper towels) that I'm not sure they would know what to do with real cloth napkins.

renee my husband had a good laugh at this as he says I spend too much time in the kitchen and why aren't we using the "good china" (paper plates). Thank goodness he doesn't want to use the "good silverware".

We use paper napkins for day to day, but I like cloth for a sit down meal. I have, and use, some linen ones that were my granny's...and she has has been gone for over 30 yrs!!!

We use paper towels for everyday too (too funny, DH rips them in half and gives us each half- oh well)

For Christmas I put out red ones and green ones, and rolled them up in tiny grapevine wreaths. They looked so pretty on the table! I'm going to try again next Christmas!! Or
maybe I'll just put the paper ones in the wreaths - gee whizz.........

LMBO that may be an idea :D:D:D

Sorry for this question but I don't understand. What is: "a sit down meal?"

In our home, that would be having the food set on the table in serving bowls and passed around for each person to help themselves. Everyone gets to sit together and enjoy the meal and each others' company.

Another thing I "don't get"....when I have company coming, I always set out "company" hand towels beside the sink. Invariably, I will put them away...unused....after my company leaves. So...why would they use another towel hanging on a rack...NOT beside the sink?
