Sibling Time, Sister Time

Day one of a lazy do nothing day is done -- and seven more to go.

Between Spuds and nap and bedtime Jean and I talked about everything and everyone. Nobody was safe! If you are elected, related or have a cat, dog, or pet...we talked about you. Clark's college, Nora's marriage, Summer's career, Chris's career, Amber's dog, Mark's weight loss and yes we touched on politics just long enough to back off. Semi-conservative and ultra liberal, yep that's us.

And I have a wild week planned.

Today is the grand Claire and Connor day. My traditional Wednesday breakfast with Claire, home for a nap and then an evening with The Connorman. I can't tell you how excited Jean is about that.
This weeks events, the coming attractions will also include a breakfast at the Farmers Cafe, a ferry jaunt, a mountain drive, and book club. Sounds exciting doesn't it.

Sibling time is the best time! Ease of conversation. Physical comfort with each other, it doesn't matter if we fart. Long history of memories and past events. Shared experiences, drives, trips, meals, events. Shared relatives to talk about. It is fun.

And our current wild lives of grocery stores, doctor appointments, grandkids, ageing, ageing, ageing. Lots about ageing, getting up in the morning rituals, going to bed at night rituals, hobbling out the door rituals, remembering everything we need when we leave the house whether it be for a few hours or a few days. And in spite of all those rituals, how glad we are that we aren't young anymore and suffering the angst of youth. Youth -- anyone under fifty. Don't laugh, you will be there soon enough. As Jeff said, "I'm looking at the coming attractions." Aches, pains, hobbles, and myriad other hazards of the graying of America.

The weather is moody broody, but no tornadoes. It supposed to rain for the next seven days and we might reach 65 degrees.

Ian is in town, I have new house slippers for Christian's new home. Christian has connections with the shoe industry. Roger and Stephanie this PM.

Life in the slow lane.
Life in the sibling lane.
Life in the sister lane.
Life.

Life is good.
