I would like to hold another family dinner next Sunday, to celebrate three generations in one spot. Tony and AJ, since we're getting to be a bit large for my apartment would you mind hosting at the Penthouse?

	Actually, mother dear, I have a formal dining area that will work nicely down on the 18th floor. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That would be lovely, thank you Tony. There's a kitchen area there too I'm assuming? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, ma'am. It's huge, too. Meant for banquets and such. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wonderful! That should make it easy to cook for everyone then. [Tony] I've also had an idea about putting on a Thanksgiving dinner for the island, assuming we're all still here then. Do you think you could arrange to get the necessary supplies (I'm assuming most of it will have to be frozen due to the timing) brought over from New York? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The plaque on the door says it's open until the end of October so I'll wait until closer but I certainly can. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well since Tony suggested elsewhere I can help by makin' some Zap apple pies? And other confections. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mommastark 2013-09-29 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	That would be wonderful AJ dear, if you feel up to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	applejack_ 2013-09-29 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Oh sure, there ain't nothin' to making a few pies and maybe a batch of cookies or two. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sounds like a big dinner, Marna. Want me to bring anything over from Manhattan? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mommastark 2013-09-30 06:25 am UTC (link)
	I'll make a list. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	starksnr 2013-09-30 04:17 am UTC (link)
	What a lovely idea, I look forward to it. [Maria] Will I be expected to host? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mommastark 2013-09-30 06:25 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad you are. [Howard] Is that something you'd be comfortable doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maria starksnr 2013-09-30 06:32 am UTC (link)
	I guess I could. I don't have much experience in large family gatherings. It couldn't be that difficult, could it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Howard/Maria mommastark 2013-09-30 08:16 am UTC (link)
	I was Hostess of the last dinner before you arrived, but that was at my apartment. How are you and Tony getting along? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria starksnr 2013-09-30 08:43 am UTC (link)
	Everything appears to be going swimmingly. He has offered to take both Richie and myself to Manhattan for new clothes once he returns from Alabama. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria mommastark 2013-09-30 08:56 am UTC (link)
	Then perhaps he won't be upset if you offered to be the 'official' host of the event, considering that going by date of birth you'd be the oldest Stark present. If you want to of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria starksnr 2013-09-30 09:31 am UTC (link)
	Will he be back by then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria mommastark 2013-09-30 09:37 am UTC (link)
	He hasn't said otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria starksnr 2013-09-30 10:00 am UTC (link)
	Then I'll talk to him about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria mommastark 2013-09-30 10:05 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. I want this to be a happy occasion, not one where people's feathers are ruffled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria starksnr 2013-09-30 10:11 am UTC (link)
	Wait, didn't you say this was a Stark family dinner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria mommastark 2013-09-30 10:33 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. This is an opportunity for a fresh start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria starksnr 2013-09-30 10:35 am UTC (link)
	I'll be sure to bring my Sunday manners, my dear! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria mommastark 2013-09-30 10:48 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. Did they have the expression 'If momma isn't happy nobody's happy' in the 40s? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria starksnr 2013-09-30 11:08 am UTC (link)
	I think it was more along the lines of 'Happy wife, happy life!' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria mommastark 2013-09-30 11:15 am UTC (link)
	Same concept. Thank you for humoring me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Howard/Maria starksnr 2013-09-30 11:17 am UTC (link)
	You're most welcome my dear! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	daughterofstark 2013-09-30 08:12 am UTC (link)
	I'd like that. Should be all better by then. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mommastark 2013-09-30 08:17 am UTC (link)
	I was very happy to see you were out of the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daughterofstark 2013-09-30 08:24 am UTC (link)
	It really helped seeing you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mommastark 2013-09-30 08:53 am UTC (link)
	I'm always here for you Lizzie. Do you need me to bring anything by to the apartment? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I feel my Mom's presence every time you're around. It feels really good. Oh, no it's okay. Dad got me some really nice gifts. It was nice. I know he's been busy with Richie a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Maria \| Elizabeth mommastark 2013-09-30 09:45 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad that I can bring comfort in some way. I wish I knew your mother, she sounds like someone worth knowing. You don't mind him spending time with Richie? It's one thing to know you're going to have a baby brother, another to suddenly have that baby brother here all grown up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Maria \| Elizabeth daughterofstark 2013-09-30 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	No...It's hard sometimes but I understand. (Reply to this) (Parent)
