Last night was my father's birthday and we all got together to celebrate with him. After the party had died down a bit we all snuck away to Clara's 'music room' and sang some songs while Clara played her guitar. She has taught herself how to play and read chords; we are very proud of her.
Recently there have been a few little quarrels and disagreements between a couple of us and sometimes all four of us, well our whole life we've had quarrels, we're sisters! Haven't you heard that quote, "If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child." ~Linda Sunshine (or maybe you had a brother) But last night during that half an hour of sister time everything was perfect as it should be with sisters. We laughed and joked with each other and acted like little girls again. Amanda's son, Nathan, was in the room with us for a little while and it was such a joy to watch him watch his Mama sing like she did when she was a little girl. He loves music too; he must have inherited that gene. He swayed and bounced around as we all tried to do our best impression of Ingrid Michelson.
Its evenings like this one that I feel so incredibly blessed to have three best friends that will always be there and who know that I will always be there for them.
How do people make it through life without a sister? ~Sara Corpening

You are absolutely right Belinda! There is no one closer than your own sisters, thick or thin, good times or bad, you ARE... all from the same garden! The happiest news of all is that the GARDENER, loves to see his beautiful flowers blossom, and experience the different scents that each one uniquely offers, and realizes that they all are capable of weathering even the harshest of storms! I Love my beautiful garden!!
