Sue and I figured out a long time ago that we share a brain. We are actually one person in two different bodies. The first time I became aware of this was about twenty five years ago. My parents thought it would be fun to take a road trip to Texas to visit Mom's family, and that it would be even more fun to take Sue, me and my brother Gary with them, just like the old days when we were kids, only now we could help drive and pay for our own food. Was that a run on sentence? I put a lot of commas in it. So anyway, Sue and I have always loved to sew and in order to keep the trip from getting boring, I decided it would be a good time for us to learn to quilt. So I went to the library and checked out every quilting book they had. I got a box of fabric together and all the tools we would need, needles, thread scissors, etc Sue lived forty miles away, so she was going to come to my house the evening before we left and my parents and brother were going to pick us up in the morning. When Sue got there she said she had thought this would be a good time for us to learn to quilt,so she had gone to the library to get some books and all the quilting books were checked out. Spooky....
It wasn't a boring trip, but not totally because of the quilting. Try it sometime. Going on a trip with your parents and your grown siblings can be really fun. We made it a yearly event for several years. Sometimes one of the sibs wouldn't be able to get away, and sometimes a nephew or a spouse joined us, but it was always a fun trip. Of course there were moments when tempers got short, but nothing like when we were kids. More later, feel free to comment.
I was never invited ��
