Play As Sisters

Can I just say how I love it when y’all play as sisters?

I mean, oh my word, you can all be so sweet to each other, I just think my heart will explode.

You play family, school, cafe, kitchen, and spa – on the regular.

My favorite is when you “pretend you are sisters and Mom and I are your parents.”

Y’all can be as tender with each other as you would be with a newborn baby.

But often, as the afternoon wears on, things begin to shift…

(You’re sisters after all! 🤣)

Someone finally insists on being in charge, someone gets tired, everyone is beginning to get irritated, and finally, someone will refuse to be told what to do.

Voices are raised, tears fall, and the moment ends.

It’s tough then.

But when it’s good…it’s great.

I love it when it’s great.

Y’all are great.

I hope you always are tender with each other, fight it out, and then come back to love on each other again. 💌

I love you.

April Snow

I have no idea how it snows in April.

But that’s what it did all day today.

It was 85 degrees a few days ago, so I didn’t think anything would stick.

But sure enough, the snow blew nearly all day and turned the backyard white.

I don’t know, it was just the craziest thing.

All the trees are in bloom.

And today we just sat with our coffee and watched the flakes come down (when we were ducking in and out of gyms for Halo Hoopsters.)

Honestly, it felt like a big breath of fresh air before the summer gets here.

I love you.

Chapter 7

So, my boss at the farm filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

And he let everyone go two weeks before Christmas.

So, apparently, finding that out killed my writing habit for nearly a month. 🤣

It’s fine.

I’m ok.

We are all ok.

Everything happens for a reason.

I can’t wait to see what comes next.

I love you.
