Sisters

With the busy lives that both my sisters lead, it was really special for Chris, the eldest, to find the time to make it special. For as much as we should make time for each other, excluding kids…you know sister to sister time? Most of the time, it never happens. My sister’s have their weekends planned for the next year. Between swimming classes, Tai Kwan Do lessons, Friends birthdays and such, they’re too busy chauffeuring, hustling, hosting and bustling their young ones around.

Chris made a reservation at LaBelle Spa downtown San Francisco for a facial and an hour and a half massage. Besides, the splendid spa time, it was a treat to hang out with my two sisters! I took them to Zuni’s for lunch and Jill met up with us there. It means a lot to me to show my sisters a good time. We slurped oysters and we sipped champagne and gossiped and giggled.

I’ve realized as you get older that time just whizzes by. I mean remember when you were a kid? Five minutes felt like 5 trillion years! Patience was painful. Now, five minutes feels like .005 seconds. Time flies when life’s a disco party.

Everytime we get together, we always cluck about how we should do this more often. I don’t know when we’ll ever get to do this again, but I promise that I’ll try harder to make time.

This is Shellie from the hearth of her heart, back to you Bob in that dank brick closet you call a studio.
