Eyres On The Road

Your kids may find a simplier, cheaper Christmas is even more fun.

The Eyres talk about why family dinner time is so integral to the success and happiness of families. For them, it's not all about the food (even though sustenance is necessary for life); rather the familial interactions that take place over the dinner table. Graham Kerr, a world-renowned gourmet chef known as the Galloping Gourmet, supports the Eyres in their dedication to family dinner time.  Later in the program, Richard and Linda discuss Richard's 90 year old mother, who lives in Logan, Utah, and the struggles she has faced throughout her life. Losing her husband at age 39 and having to raise 5 children from age 15 to 3 by herself, the Eyres pay tribute to an amazing lady who sacrificed much for her family.

In this episode, Richard and Linda discuss how most other cultures in the world do a better job of honoring and "using" the wisdom and experience of their "seniors" than we do here in the American culture, where we tend to put our seniors "out to pasture." The Eyres then make some specific suggestions about how those over 70 (actually the fastest growing population segment) can make themselves more relevant.
