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.

Easter always makes me think of this photo. Our mama made Easter into the most special of holidays. She supplied us with new hats and hand-sewn outfits. She even hand wove our Easter egg baskets. There in lies the backstory to this photo. Our mama tried to pose us for our annual Easter photo with us holding our baskets. She couldn’t snap the shutter on her Brownie before I ruined the image. After a bit of a skuffle, we shed our baskets and she caught this image. My sister, the one who looks like she could wring my neck, had just tried to explain to me why I shouldn’t toss my eggs out on the sidewalk. I think I was lucky to be a younger sister.
May Easter joy be yours.

I just met E. Louise last Monday! What a surprise to see an unhappy expression! Please let her know I continue to think of her and her quilting! My sewing room is still full of cabinet doors…..
Loved the picture of you and Louise. I have a similar one of Philip and me. I think we have the same expressions on our faces.

Hey, cousin, You two were so cute. I love the ones I have of you at that age. I always wanted a sister too (Marty was the closest I came) Well, one a time when Ray was about 3 or 4 Momma dressed Ray up in one of my tap dance costumes. I cried when Momma took the costume off of him. Mother never did that again! Ray just stood there confused. 2 brothers are great, cousins are very nice, but a sister would have been nice growing up.
Love you,
Charlotte
What an adorable picture. I always wanted a sister, I ended up with a brother. lol.
