when i was young when we went to visit another family and knew we were going to be there long enough for dinner my grandparents and parents used to take along some extra food...maybe some flour, coffee, some mutton or canned fruit and offer it to them...i was taught that from a young age...now days it seems that people dont do that anymore...i remember one time taking someone with me and i explained this to them and we bought a few things at Bashas in Window Rock and headed over to the a place in Fort Defiance because i knew the woman there was making a rug and this person wanted to see one made and wanted maybe to buy it....when we went there we visited and offered the food and it was for the most part much needed by them at that time as it was near the end of the month and supplies were low...the old couple there understood it but their grand daughter who came home from school was surprised to see button roasting and some chocolate cake on the table...her eyes were filled with wonder and surprise...i will never forget her face...some traditions should go on in that way...but it seems we are forgetting these things....
