Happy Birdie 2 U

This squawling little girl came into my life when I was just 3 & 1/2 years old.



I giggle when I see this picture of us... me with my protective arm around her...along with another one of our sisters.... and she's had enough of the big sisters.



When we were young... my mom dressed us alike.
A lot.


It was mostly fun.
Mostly.


She and I didn't always get along.
Probably because we're so alike in a lot of ways.
She challenged my "older-sister" status, and I wielded it as an almighty power, at times.
Ok. A lot.


It wasn't until we both were married, that we began to talk on the phone... she in California, and me in Colorado, Texas, and even Germany...that we connected.

This sister of mine is exceptionally talented.
In anything she attempts.
It makes me quite jealous of her natural abilities.
The jerk.
*grin*

Now that we are both supporting our families, we rarely get to talk...
but each week....
I get a little suprise in my work email...
My sister pops in and asks me how my life is going.
It makes me smile.


Happy Anniversary of your 29th birthday, Lolly.
I lub you.
