Clare is excited that Grandpa is coming to live in her home, but when she joins her family on a shopping expedition to find a larger dining room table, she has trouble managing her anger and sadness at losing the old, familiar one. Her mother soothes her by acknowledging her sense of loss but encourages her to consider that Grandpa will be missing his old surroundings, too. Back at home, surrounded by relatives and neighbors working to welcome her grandfather, Clare regains her positive outlook on the changes in her household and picks flowers to decorate the table. Sitting beside Grandpa at dinner that evening, she's pleased to discover that the new table accommodates even more family members and friends.
