Need More Sister Pictures

Today is my sister Margaret’s birthday and last Saturday was my sister Janet’s birthday. I wish them both the best wishes for a great year, but I wish I was with them to do it in person. As I was going through the photos on my phone, of which the are over 10,000 only going back to about 2011 I realized that I hardly have any pictures of us together. I had to go back farther, by looking at pictures on my computer. I did find this gem from a trip to Eygpt Circa 1989(?) How could I not get at least one picture of us at least once a year?
Probably because we just aren’t together that much and when we are at Christmas it is a hurried day of presents and meals and just trying for everyone to get along. This Christmas the plan is for my sisters and parents to be in Florida and we will be home, having just returned from Germany. Now with this Horrible hurricane Irma, who knows if Florida will even be inhabitable by Christmas.
For my sisters’ birthday I want to make a pledge that we all get together this fall and make sure we take plenty of pictures. I know it is hard since both Margaret and Janet have businesses of their own to run, but time just slips away and if I don’t make it a priority to see them both another Christmas will have come and gone.
As the oldest sister it was always my job to bake the birthday cakes for Jan and Marg. It was a good week in our dessertless house to have two cakes in one week. Not that we can eat cake now, but I am still the oldest sister so it is my job to get us together. So Happy Birthday Margaret and belated again to Janet. I’ll be calling for dates when I can see you and look your best, I am bringing my camera.
