While beautiful lakes may not surround you, there is usually some place you can go that your family will enjoy. If you haven't done it yet this summer, don't miss out. In the same way that you set your table to look nice, plan your picnic setting. Make your food more appetizing by displaying it attractively. Food always tastes better outdoors.
Nothing says picnic like a bright gingham tablecloth and a picnic basket.
They are just big rectangles with pockets sewn on them to hold the silverware and napkins. They are easy to sew and a great convenience. Pick up some used silverware at Goodwill and have them ready to go. It's only a one- time expense and will pay for itself when you consider the cost of higher price entertainment, and how much you will use it. Pack them in the cooler and take them out to melt at the park.
