I noticed on Facebook that it was National Siblings’ Day. I thought it was a perfect time to do a post about “Sister Three.”
As I have mentioned before, we now live in three different provinces. We haven’t been in the same province together for almost five years. We were together for our mom and dad’s 60th anniversary in June, 2017.
So what should I add…Carol is mom, wife, grandmother. She loves to garden and finds the ocean her happy place. She loves family and animals. When the Seattle Sea Hawks play her house is transformed into a game night zone. She is a super relaxed person. I saw this last weekend when her house was full and she was calm about where people were going to sleep and what they were going to eat. She’s my first phone call when I get stressed.
Tina is also a mom and wife. She has always been a hard worker, sometimes working 2 or 3 jobs at a time. She has always been up for an adventure and loves sitting by a fire. She is a great organizer. She is not a hallmark movie type of a girl. She doesn’t have her own grandchildren but she has adopted mine as her own. Now might be a good time to tell a little story about Tina and babies. When she was young, she wanted a Baby Wet Doll. She got one. The idea was to give the baby a bottle of water and then change the diaper. My dad thought he would play a little trick. He added a little peanut butter to the diaper. Tina fed the baby doll some water and then started to change the diaper. All of a sudden Tina didn’t want that doll anymore. It took a little bit of explaining to get her to want to feed that baby again.
It’s probably not fair to talk about myself. There are a lot of stories to tell. I was a pastor’s wife for 19 years and now I’m married to a police officer. Same guy! I enjoy travelling, hiking and finding my own quiet space. I’m counting down to our cottage time.
So Happy National Siblings’ Day!
We are STEELE a standing!
