As far as Mary and Randy can recall, they have been doing this tradition for nearly 29 years. That's right... 29 years. That is A LOT of pizza that has been consumed by this family over the years!
Aside from the tradition that we eat pizza on Friday nights, other steadfast traditions have formed too...
* Randy must always have pepperoni pizza. He really doesn't like any other kind.
* If Mary has a say in it, she would prefer a chicken pizza of some sort or taco pizza. She is flexible though and will eat whatever is available.
* Everyone has their place at the counter. No one sits where the other typically sits.
* Even if you are out of town on vacation or move away (us to Nashville), you still hold fast the tradition of eating pizza on Fridays.
*Most often Eric is the one who orders the pizza. I am second runner up, followed by Mary. Randy doesn't ever call and Ryan HATES to call. Go figure - for a man who loves to socialize and talk to others, he hates the phone!
The girls really enjoy Pooley Pizza Night. They look forward to seeing Nana, Papa, and Uncle Eric each Friday. My hope is that this is memory that will always be near and dear to their hearts. So many fond memories are created around the kitchen table with family. This is no exception - great food, great company and great memories!
