If you’ve been following this blog for a while you may remember
that at the end of August I had a family meal, inviting sundry cousins and my
only surviving aunt to come for Sunday lunch.
I don’t do this very often as I usually work on Sundays so I am very
grateful for the invitations which those same relations issue to me.
But this Sunday I have booked a day off and once again I
have invited the family for a meal. Ive
started the preparations already because these days I tire easily and I want to
do the minimum on Sunday so I can enjoy the day. Tomorrow Jack is coming to help me with the
heavy things like converting the sewing room back into a dining room and after
that I shall be able really to look forward to Sunday.
And this Sunday will be very special for me. You see, of the six of us who will be sitting
down, three of us have vivid memories of my Grandmother’s house and the other
three are very interested. So I have
printed out all the things which I wrote on this blog about that house and have
given copies to my cousin and my aunt.
Everybody is looking forward to an orgy of “Do you remember?”
And nobody can be looking forward to it more than me.
Wishing you a wonderful time, there is nothing like a family get together. Some great memories in the making.
ReplyDeleteI think a family 'do you remember' meal sounds delightful.
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a wonderful gathering! I am sure they will enjoy reading all your memories.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen this post before now. HOW LOVELY! I can only imagine you had such a fun time with your family reminiscing!!!
ReplyDeleteWe did have a lovely meal, thank you. I may tell some more stories at a later date.
