Sunday Dinner Memories

I remember  Sunday dinners at Grandma Rose's house.  All the daughter in laws and daughter would help Mother Rose, as she was called, cook wonderful fried chicken or chicken and dumplings, fried potatoes and everything to go with it.  Of course she would make a coconut cream pie just for me !!!  Tables were set in the kitchen and bedrooms and she would have all the cousins sit on a long bench.  People I remember there was Aunt Ruth and Uncle Tom, Stephie, Uncle Jerry and Aunt Vel with Mike and Debbie, Julia and my dad, Bob, with Tony, Mark, Bobbie and Carol, Connie and me, Aunt Audrey and Uncle Ralph with Dennis and Gizzy, Aunt Mable who was Grandpa Rose's sister with her husband Harry and daughters Debbie and Pat plus friends Corky and Edna plus anyone else who came.  Her house was small but full of love.  After dinner we all got in a game of "Dirty  Board" which was a homemade board like Aggravation except with no shortcuts.  I still have a board that Corky made for me out of wood and a formica top.  Grandma Rose would really get into the game and even stand when the game got heated.  I remember having Pepsi Floats as we played the game.  Those were fun times and will always bring fond memories.  Most of the family are gone now and we will always remember them, especially of my cousin Dennis who just passed away.  Until next time......Rose
