Please do me a favour and go to http://wildhippiechild.blogspot.com/ , have a read and let me know whether this series has any 'legs'.

We love to be with each other and celebrate any aspect of life together with copious amounts of food and laughter, of course.DJ Kirkbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481107164497582398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-79920273936164190962007-06-04T18:34:00.000-04:002007-06-04T18:34:00.000-04:00DM-- that's the downfall of VP-ing..

I like to think we meet our loved ones again when we pass on. Thanks for your kind words.<BR/><BR/>K-- Sisters can be a royal pain sometimes, but you just cant beat that sisterly bond. I hope I win a lottery too!! I'd be happy!<BR/><BR/>SS-- Oh, I didnt mean to give you "raccoon eyes"!! Here's a tissue (digging around in my pocket) Sorry, it's sorta lint-y, but it's clean!<BR/>I split the winnings with you too!! Maybe we can buy 100 acres with 10 houses for other family members and we all share the pool, garden, homeschool the little ones....<BR/><BR/>Coffee-- At least I still have my mom nearby and Hubby has his family too. I marvel at how some families can grow up in the same town forever and the next generation stays and the next... True, VP is very nice and I think it is better than phone (as if I could talk on it anyway) I can see the other person's expressions and sometimes we take the camera and pan across the room to show off a new paint color or something. Thanks for your shared sympathy.<BR/><BR/>Lady M-- Thanks for your sweet comments. I look forward to hearing from you and hope you had a good weekend with the sheikh!!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-50208102602454928072007-06-03T19:58:00.000-04:002007-06-03T19:58:00.000-04:00How wonderful you and your sister have such a rela...How wonderful you and your sister have such a relationship, made all the better by your successful efforts to maintain communication.

And we grew up far away from my parents' families.
