Sisters

A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves -

a special kind of double. ~Toni Morrison

Last week I was able to get together with all my sisters for lunch. Unfortunately, it is an event that only happens once every three or four years. Kara flew in to run a half marathon with a friend who has cancer. Shaynie and LeAnn were both able to make it down. It was an event that took several months of planning and reminding - thanks Kara for making it all happen.

Kara and I met earlier in Salt Lake for a little retail therapy at Nordstrom. We had lots of fun trying on clothes and swapping. Some of the things she tried on and didn't like for one reason or another, I liked. I wish I had taken pictures of some of the things we tried. We had some good laughs and a few groans and moans when we found something we liked but it didn't look good on or it just brought out all our faullts.

We met up with Shaynie and LeAnne in Park City for lunch at the red Rock Junction. Mailee was the only daughter that was able to join us. We spent most of lunch discussing medical histories of ourselves and our parents, aunts and uncles. It was rather interesting to find out some of the health issues my sisters were facing. It was just so nice to be together and catch up on how everyone is doing.

After lunch, the rest of the sisters headed to the outlets to shop but I needed to get home.
On the way home, I made a brief stop in to see Aunt Kathy. It has been many years since I've seen her so it was nice to visit, even if it was just for a few minutes.

I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go

out and buy new ones. ~Author unknown, attributed to a 4-year-old named Lauren
