I would like to pay tribute to the other women of the family - my mother and two older sisters (my baby sister fits into another category; I'll devote a post to he sometime ). It is such a privilege to have these three ladies in my life who are my very best friends. They are an example of true femininity and have shaped my life profoundly. Even on a material level, there are many activities that because of my mother and sisters I have a whole different level of experience and appreciation; activities which, for me, will always have posses more meaning than their names imply, such as...
- Drinking tea
- Chocolate and cheesecake
- Shopping
- Sharing clothes
- Baking (especially tweaking recipes until they have totally surrendered to a horde of nutritious ingredients which we would never admit to adding when serving the boys our baking).
- Girls' movie nights (BBC classics!)
- Walks
- Country music in truck #7
...I could go on. So thank you, Mama, girls, my life wouldn't be the same without our little community of womenfolk.
Stay tuned for my next post: what I love about brothers. That will be fun.

Very sweet post, Mary.
Just think-your little sister can put you in that category, too!
One of the gifts of being an older sister. :)

Thanks ;) Hey yeah, I hadn't thought of that. That is cool.
Oh Mary!!! Country music in truck #7. Terrific! I didn't know I had any significant positive affect in your life, but I suppose this is something I can thoroughly take credit for! I love you!!!
