midnightsjaneMy two sisters are here visiting, so I've been busy. Right now they're watching TV, a show I don't care about, so I thought I'd pop in here and catch up.
They arrived on Monday morning and by the time we go home we were already giddy and giggly. I haven't seen my younger sister in five years, so we had a lot of catching up to do. It's fascinating to me that three women who fought like cats and dogs as teenagers can manage to get along as well as we do. It's a bit cramped in my little apartment, and the cats are in a bit of a snit (except for Chloe, who loves to be in the centre of things); Sam is under the bed, and there he stays until we do kitty roundup at bedtime. But we're managing quite well so far; only day two, but so far so good. Yesterday we started out for a walk around the neighbourhood, and it turned into about a three hour hike down to the beach and back up a very steep hill; halfway up the hill we all collapsed and just lay there laughing and catching our breath. Then I cooked fried chicken and new potatoes and local corn for dinner, and we played scrabble until bedtime.
Today we were up at the crack of dawn (they're still on back east time); went down to the Planetarium then had lunch, then drove out to the farm. I introduced the horses to them, and gave them the two bit tour of the place. We had planned to go for dinner in Fort Langley with Sue, but the guy who is hauling our manure pile away showed up, so Sue needed to stay. We decided to reschedule dinner for Thursday. With the afternoon to fill, I took my sisters in to White Rock, where we walked on the beach and in the water (quite warm), ate fish and chips on the boardwalk, and fought off the seagulls who wanted a taste. It was a lovely afternoon.
Now I'm pretty tired, and ready for an early night. Busy day again tomorrow.
