Hi Fau Bloggers:
Today I'd like you to write about a family meal you remember. The
family meal I remember was in about 1983 or 1984 (I think. My memory isn't as
good as it used to be!!). It was in a Hostel my father managed in a little
village in Scotland called Coldingham Bay. It was a couple of tears after my
mother had died and possibly the first time the family had gathered together
since her death, The whole family was my dad and my 5 sisters (Terri, Clare,
Moira, Lizzie & Fran) and my 3 brothers (Adie, Colin & Ged). My nephew
Dan would have been there too. I can't remember what time of the year it was so
I can't remember if we were celebrating anything special or not. I think there
was turkey or vegetarian meatloaf on the menu. One of the reasons the meal is
so memorable is because my sister Moira and brother Adie started a food fight
that got really crazy. It was so epic that it took us ages to clean up
afterwards. I mostly remember it because of my dad's reaction. He was always
very strict at mealtimes when we were younger but, on this occasion, he
just sat there laughing. I think he had finally realized that his children were
all a little bit crazy but in a good way.
Write about a family meal you remember.
Say:
When and where it was.
Who was there,
What you ate.
Why it was memorable.
Mention anything else you think is interesting or important. Try to write at least 200 words. Leave a comment on my post and on the posts of 3 classmates.
What a memorable family meal!
