Tether ball to play alone or together.

A large kitchen, lots of storage.

Conversations easy

while sitting at the big, round dining table.

Serving spoon variety, silverware, cloth napkins.

Matching dishes in a modern style.

Large bedrooms and large modern bathrooms.

Plenty of room to play or relax.

Sipping, slurping, chewing favorite delicacies.

Always having enough for everyone.

Atmosphere of happiness and calm.

Feelings of security and permanence.
