Rick’s cousin, Glynis arranged for a group of us to get together for a delicious Sunday Roast. The food looked so good and I don’t think I have ever seen such large Yorkshire Puddings. The were just massive. Every time I see Yorkshire pudding I instantly remember Rick’s mother, Iris. All of the nieces and nephews made such a fuss over these tasty things. I also always remember that it took me about 2 years to finally ask Rick where was the pudding? Every single visit we made to Colorado she would make Rick’s favorite meal which was a beef roast, peas, roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and trifle. I was too embarrassed to ask where the “pudding” was while at the table. But I do remember thinking each time she forgot the “pudding” that was suppose to be a big deal. Bloody American!
We finally got to meet Rick’s cousin Catherine and her husband Andy. We also met cousin Sarah, her husband Gary and their daughter, Lauren. Cousin Carolyn and Simon showed up as well as Cousin Stephen. Glynis also had a dear friend of hers visiting at the same time and we all got the pleasure of meeting Karen and her daughter, Caitlyn. Karen was originally from Oklahoma (1970’s) but we hit it off because we spoke the same language — meaning we pronounced things very similar and I didn’t need any translations.
