Sister Day!!


The best laid plans, sometimes....''

The community has a bus service that goes to the Windriver Casino in Riverton about once a month. For October, it was scheduled for a Wednesday. A little silly, I think. Weekdays aren't easy for many working folks, especially right in the middle of the week. But my sisters took the day off, I made reservations for the bus, and we all looked forward to getting together for the day.

So Tuesday evening I get a phone call from the casino. "The bus trip has been cancelled," I was told.

I asked why.

"Not enough interested riders."

Well, I thought. Wednesdays...not a great day. Maybe during the summer, but...

"Okay, thanks," I told my caller.

Doggone it.

So I called my sister, the one who would have been riding the bus with me.

After hearing the bad news, she said, "Well, maybe my husband will drive us up."

I agreed not to call our sister, who lives in Riverton, until I heard back from her.

Well, her husband had been expecting us to have a sister day, so he simply handed her ten dollars with instructions to double his money, wished us luck and said he'd be staying home this time.

So we drove up without even mentioning to our sister that the bus wasn't coming.

We finally confessed later, once we'd met up with her and went to lunch before doing any significant damage to our pocketbooks. She felt really special, knowing we'd gone just to see her.

There's nothing better than just kicking back and having a girls' day with the girls you've known your whole life. I love my sisters so much. They are the ones who know me best--poor things--and still kind of like me anyway. I'm so grateful to have them.

This is not to say I'm not just as grateful to have my brothers; I certainly am! I love them so much it's scary.

But they're not girls. Ha ha!



As we all well know, girls just wanna have fun. And we did!!

My brother-in-law got his money doubled. We girls didn't, but we didn't lose our shirts, either. So nice not to lose.

We had a terrific lunch, ice cream treats and a lot of laughs.

A priceless day.

Sometime we need to have a sibling day. I wonder if my brothers would like to gamble and giggle with us? (I don't think I've ever heard my brothers giggle--well, not since they grew up, anyway. What's up with that?)

Anyway, big thanks to my sister for driving on Wednesday. Big thanks to both sisters for taking a day off and spending time with me. I love you both very much!

Next time let's win the car!!
