Sisters

My Favorite Quilt....Ever!
Our Quilt Shop....Old Glory
yes, I am on Moms' Lap
Sisters?....confidants.....friends....know you so well because they know themselves?.....feel secure with them....laugh....cry.....show real feelings.....pray for each others...stand by each other.....teach them as they teach you.....love the same things....bring the same food to gathering unless a list is made ahead of time (funny)...buy the same shoes and purses....seriously....have the same hands and when you do dishes you look over and realize those hands are connected to your sister, not yourself.....yep!!.....having kids together and younger sisters having kids while your kids are growing up and now repeating it all with grandkids.....some like to sew and quilt...others would rather die than sew......SEW they clean and cook...the sewers say, cleaning?.....not so much....all like to eat so all cook....some even like to cook....some go to Heaven before they are really ready and the others aren't really ready to let them go, but God calls us all to Him.....sisters that love God...Loved our parents and their parents.....Love our kids

....it is good....this brainstorming about Sisters......I even know that a fabric designer group only lives 25 miles from me near the Amish that are Sisters'.....pretty cool beans!!.....(a sisters' saying.)
1966....fun.....guess who I am
So, sew, there you are!!....I was thinking about them and sew I shared!!...like it or not......Bless them today, God......Bless yourself by counting them a blessing....
if you are at odds....get over it....forgive and don't waste any time getting a new perspective on Sisters' even on brothers; as you can see we were blessed!!
Sisters?....they are pretty cool and really do know you well.....that is a blessing.....
