Why we have sisters

Today's entry is in honor of my older sister Ardith, who kindly put me up on the way home, not to mention put up with me - especially for getting there way too early.

This is Ardith shoveling her drive! - early on a Sunday morning with a windchill in the single digits.

Not to mention that she cleared all the snow away from my car.

And this was the view from Ardith's front window. Doesn't she have a lovely neighborhood? Especially when it's decked out with snow.

By the way, no matter what you may hear from skeptical acquaintances or cynical family, Ardith is a fabulous cook. She fixed up a delicious creamy chicken curry for Saturday's supper. Everyone who knows her should go pay her a visit sometime in 2008 and let her show off her cooking.

Yes, and those skills were acquired more indirectly than you know...

I taught her to read and after graduating from college she bought cookbooks.

Oh, if that's how it works -

Then you took her to the beach to play in the sand and later she started shoveling snow?

I don't recall a lot of what happened at the beach beyond efforts to ensure everyone came home alive.

I did make Ardith mow part of the lawn a couple of times, which no doubt has made all the difference in keeping with her present situation.
