Sisters and Girlfriends and Nieces and Moms and Grandmas and Daughters ...This Week's Blogs are dedicated to you!

This is My Sister Laura in her backyard in Sandy. She and I are Irish twins because we are only eleven months apart. We have been through it ALL together and we decided we definitely share the same brain. Last week I called her on Monday with that tone in my voice like "where have you been"? She is a Busy Gal but I can always call and she is there. She also has a great Testimony which helps a lot. Anyway, she filled me in and then I told her Jade and I would like to come down and make dinner together. I had Mother's Day gifts for her and she had some things to show me. I love my sister's spaghetti sauce and though I offered to bring everything and did she already had it simmering on her stove. We stood in her kitchen while Jade and Lauren, my neice hugged and giggled and revelled in each other's company. I gave her the Ann Taylor earrings I had bought for her on clearance in Las Vegas and then I presented her with the rest of her Mother's Day Gift. She began to chuckle," oh my gosh! We do have the same brain" I gave her the Mother's Day Barnes and Noble Tote and a set of Happy Hands Massagers I had bought two of in Vegas. She said Jude, I have the tote and I got these when I was in Vegas too but I love the earrings! We then tried to decide to which of our other two sisters to share the loot with, we still haven't decided but it was a good laugh. After dinner we went to South Town Mall with my older neice to check out a new handbag vendor as her surprise for me. They had the Coach Knockoff and Giraffe Dooney Knockoff I wanted. Laura helped me choose and waited patiently while I negotiated with the seller. I negotiate almost everything, well at least I try. Happy I followed her to Claires where she bought perfume on sale for our three girls and we talked about our Mom and the latest news in our family. We had a great time and I felt that secure feeling I always get when I am around her, I cannot remember a time when she wasn't there and it's great! So, here's to you Laura, my darling sister, Happy Mother's Day this week, I love you!
