Total Indulgence

The best thing about our trip to NY is that we took the time to reconnect, to relax, and to renew. If one of us wanted to sleep late, no one pestered her. The other two would get up and go do what they wanted. If all we wanted to do was shop, that's what we did. We left all the "shoulds" at home. It was wonderful! Since our return, when I get tired and stressed, I think about that wonderful, stress free time with my sisters.

Letting the Son in

We were delighted to have our NY area relatives join us for some fun time together. We went to New Jersey to spend time with Joyce's son,Keith,his wife Mendi, and Mendi's parents who had just retired and moved to NJ. It was fun catching up.

Where is the son? Why isn't he in the picture? Oh, yeah, he's the thoughtful one with the camera. He took this group shot of us.

God Help The Mister

Sunday night in NY we went to see a play about two sisters who loved each other very much, Celie and Nettie. We were fortunate to get our tickets for a night that Fantasia was still starring as Celie. It was wonderful.

Although my sisters and I live in the same zip code, we don't often have time to spend together. Life so ofter gets in the way. It felt good to be totally selfish and seize this time together for ourselves.

3 Chicks in the Big Apple

In August Mary, Joyce and I decided it was time for us to have a little fun. We had been through so much emotional upheaval in such a short time. I don't know if we had ever been anywhere together, alone, without others, in our lives.

We decided to take the 3Chicks Tour to NY. It was just the three of us. . . no husbands, children, not even girlfriends. It was going to be like it had been for us growing up. Our two oldest sisters were not with us physically, but they were forever on our minds.
