Sisterhood

There's days when I think about the people of the world who do not have sisters. I have two official ones and one very special step-sister. When you throw my mom into the mix, there's five of us clucking away like something out of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
We're loud, we're obnoxious, we engage in inappropriate behaviors and conversations. We make strange bodily noises. We can be girly and ladylike in one moment, and completely repulsive the next. I suppose that the sister-less people of the world would substitute this relationship with their BFF's. Of all the BFF's I have, my sisterhood still gives me something my BFF's cannot. A feeling, intuition, hunch, pheramone-I don't have the capacity to put it into words yet. Maybe I will someday.

My sisters and I. We don't need to explain. We've been born of the same womb in succession. We lived the same pain and fears. We wore matching pajamas! And for some unknown, socially unusual reason, we have an obsession that we will discover a dead body in our lifetime.

I would move the hell out of frigid Wisconsin if I could take them all with me.

My absolute favorite part of my sisterhood is that we share all the same hobbies. It's never a question of what to do with each other, because we are all game.

Just last evening we gathered in "K1's" antique-infused Queen Anne Victorian home. We had cupcakes, cookies, coffee, and tea seated around her gorgeous antique table. We stirred with her brand new silver and sipped from her fine china. Our drinks were served from an elaborate silver tea service. Admiring her "always in renovation" period home and decor we wondered how many people have passed through her doors in the last 100+ years. What conversations had they had? How the times have changed!

And K1 shared with us the extensive history of the home, as she and her husband spent a year researching it.

We loves a good history lesson, we do!

Somehow, like usual, we discussed how many dead bodies were probably hidden in the walls and/or basement of this ancient home.

My sisters and I, we just can't help ourselves. :)
