Thanks for stopping in to check out my blog.  Has anyone read the Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton?   I took it along on our trip to Tahiti.  It’s a delightful read about five young mothers in the late sixties who are busy raising children but share a love of books and writing.   I loved it and found it perfect to have along on vacation.   Meg did a great job of writing about women of that era.   Of course, I liked the sister theme, too, since my book, Tessa and Claudine, is about sisters.

And yes I also LOVED our trip to Tahiti. What a gorgeous place.  The water is streaked with every shade of turquoise, also cobalt blue nearby where it gets deeper, and it is filled with scores of fish — spotted, dotted,  striped,  and every color imaginable.  We went snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, hiking, kayaking – on a sunset cruise.  My hubby did this underwater dive – I opted out of that.  We even saw this  huge rainbow come through the clouds, touching the sea one afternoon.  

Sister Sharing:  It’s time for another sister story. 

My dear sister Charlotte was fifteen months older than I.  My mother used to tell me how Charlotte was forever giving me instructions, telling me what toys I could play with.  She basically ruled my life.  Mother wondered how long it would be before I stood up for myself.  She found out one summer day when she was outside hanging  laundry on the clothesline. 

It was a hot, humid day, and Charlotte, age two, and I, nine months, were playing on the grass with a bucket of water and some containers .  Charlotte kept taking things away from me.  I assume that I got tired of being the little kid, because I picked up a glass milk bottle and hit my sister over the head with it.  She screamed and Mother ran to her side.   The good news is that I did not split her head open.  She only received a big goose egg.

I don’t remember this event , but I was told that afterward, Charlotte was reluctant to grab things away from me.  I rather like this tale.  Imust admit I did not always get the upper hand.

Stop in again and share a sibling story of your own if you wish.

See you in September.
