How Do You Make a Sister Smile?

What happens when the sister who is the same size in clothes and shoes as you are lives nine hours away?

You get this in the mail:

And when you open them up, you get these:

And these:

And it makes the left at home sister do this:

Gosh but I love daughters!

Plum- Wasn't it?!

Alessandra- How sweet was that? It's also nice that the one who sends her the clothes treats the clothes so nice that they're all like brand new! Are you ready for school? I'm not.

I used to get clothes from my two older cousins (when we were much, much younger). My mom made most of our clothing, and they had 'store bought' things that got passed down to me. It was like Christmas!! Now I am taller and broader and haven't seen them in years, but I sure do remember getting those store bought goodies! This made me smile!!

What a lovely surprise package! I have some hand-me-downs (ups?) from my daughter. Having new clothes is just uplifting :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
