Happy Sisters Day!

Me and My Sisters....


Sister's Day

Celebrated on the First Sunday in August.. Sister's Day recognizes being or having a sister... That means a lot of us will celebrate this special day... My Sisters are truly special and unique.. each of them different.. we may have argued and fought when we were younger.. always careful not to earn one of those quarter whippings my Daddy gave and my Mama paid for.. as she says in "one way or another".. It was always the sisters' fault of course.. they wouldn't let me wear their clothes.. one of them had on my shoes.. They shut the door to our room and said they had secrets.. they played with my paper dolls.. But, I will tell you one thing for sure.. when you get right down to it.. my sisters are some of the very best people I know.. they are kind and giving and all of them beautiful.. I am proud to have each and every one of them as sisters..

and Our two Sister in Laws..

~ Camella and Patricia..

I love all of my Sisters very much.. I am proud of them and all that they have accomplished in life.. I have cried and laughed with each of them.. We have sang around the piano and on the banks of a pond.. we have planned parties and played games with each others children.. We have danced at birthday parties and in the rain.. we have played and worked side by side.. I am blessed to call each and every one you my sisters.. Have a wonderful day!

Sister

Secrets we whispered in a four poster bed

In pajamas with stripes or nightgowns of red

Singing together Sweet Hour of Prayer

Trials and troubles and laughter we share

Each of us different.. in habits and trends

Remarkable the ladies.. My sisters.. My Friends..
