Sunday Dinner in Hull

AKA:  A Thanksgiving Warm-up

I wish I had gotten a picture of the winter coat fashion show my sisters and I put on in the living room or one of my brother Joey’s meatloaf with roasted brussel sprouts and potatoes.

Scratch tickets have always been a part of Sunday dinners at my mother’s house.  Nobody won the lottery but Joey’s dinner was a winner.  Along with the scratch tickets, pictures of Joey’s recent trip to Cancun got passed around.  A picture of me with purple hair and baby Liam also floated about.

“You don’t look like Meg Ryan anymore,” I told my sister Trish who was cradling Cody, her family dog rescued from the dog pound.  “Now that Meg has ruined her face with plastic surgery, you look better!”   I teased her son Patrick that Cody was his new baby brother.
