Family rituals

Tell me about one family ritual that you do that means a lot to you. I'm asking about everyday rituals, not holiday or special occasion ones. It could be from the family you grew up with or the family you're in now--or even somebody else's family, if it is a ritual you like and admire. I'm looking for a list of the little things that families do that build together memories, cohesion, trust and love.

When Rob and the girls and I eat dinner together, we go around the table and each person says one good thing that happened that day.

Whenever I'm driving with the girls and we see crows, we recite the rhyme:

One crow sorrow
Two crows joy
Three crows a girl
Four crows a boy
Five crows silver
Six crows gold
Seven crows a secret never to be told

And you?

Got this as a random hit from Cool site of the day.

Edited to add: jonquil provides the explanation here. Thanks, jonquil!

A tribute to a beautiful friendship

kijjohnson pointed out we needed an icon of the two of us together, so I pulled out a couple of double portraits that we had taken to celebrate our fortieth birthdays, and I made these icons.

Damn, we looked good.

Here's to us, darling. I hope to do something like this for our fiftieth.
