It's October 15th and back home the NC state fair is in full swing! It's also a day of celebration in our family. Today I'm wishing my sister, Diann, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I can remember when she was born. What I remember is daddy bending over me and telling me I had a new baby sister - I told him to take her back. So funny how our memory works - all my life I've had this memory but I was laying on a pallet in the floor when daddy woke me. Of course I wasn't on a pallet and also daddy and mama didn't take Diann back - I'm glad!!!
Diann and I have shared a few ups and downs, but for the most part we have shared a very special bond. There is just something about sisters, those secrets we've shared, childhood memories - memories that today no one else in the world knows about, much less cares about. There are even certain looks that we can communicate with, certain words that cause us to remember so many things.
Both of us are passing along our childhood memories to our children & grandchildren through journals and written stories. And to coin a phrase, "that's a good thing!"
So if you have time, stop by Diann's blog, http://diannsartspot.blogspot.com and wish her a big old whopping HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
