Sisters

Once upon a time, I was an only child.

That didn't last long. Thank God!

On Saturday, my sister Donna and I boarded a casino bound bus and went to spend the day with my other sister, Melanie.

It's kind of miraculous, really. Over the years, I have spent time with one or the other, and they have spent time together, but the three of us together? We figured it out, and it has been close to three decades since just the three of us had any significant time alone together.

God help us, we won't wait that long before doing it again!

We met at the casino and proceeded to talk and laugh, eat great food and talk some more, gamble a little, lose a bit, win a bit and ultimately we all broke even--a REAL miracle.

Gosh, it was fun.

There's no one in the world like a sister. They are your first girl friends. You might argue--even have knock down, drag out fights--but you have each others' backs no matter what. You went through all your earliest joys, triumphs and heartbreaks together.

No one knows me better than my sisters, I'm sure. They know what a brat I used to be, how I used to hide from everyone and read and write--and they still like me! What a blessing! They know about my shortcomings, my stupidest mistakes, my failures--and they still like me! I am such a lucky woman!

We have been blessed with a couple of awesome brothers, and we love them a lot. I know I want to spend as much time with them as possible, too, and share good times.

But sometimes you just want to have a girls' day, and you want it to be with the girls you know best and love most. The ones who have seen you at your worst and at your best and have always been rooting for you.

Sisters.

Thank you, God, for mine. You gave me the best!

I sure love you both! Thanks for the wonderful Sisters' Day!

By the way, if you are viewing the photos, that is Jim Beaver on my shirt. He wrote a really wonderful book called "Life's That Way" if you're interested in a great read. He's also "Bobby" on "Supernatural", so...yeah! I'm going to wear his face on my shirt. I have great fashion sense that way.

I actually have a.m. plans, so I'm calling it a night.

Sleep well!

I will attempt to do the same.

G'night!
