Preparation is Key
We're so excited and we just can't hide it! This is it folks! The Sisterhood is about to meet in person. For the first time in "forever," we can say, "see you next week" and literally mean it. We only have the weekend together and a lot of territory to cover, so we need to be efficient and mindful of our timing, hence preparation is of the utmost importance.

And the Saga Continues…
A Quick Recap… The Sisterhood is on an athletic adventure, and an inspirational mission. Yes, we are still walking to Montreal to see our brother Randy. When last we spoke, we were enjoying the lovely town of Princeton, B.C. Canada. Since then, we have braved torrential rain, physical pain (we’re approaching the mountains now) and overwhelming depression….. just kidding about the depression! In case you are wondering though, Big Sis is still complaining of foot pain, Middle Sis is still ridiculously upbeat and Little is preoccupied with Biscuit’s well being and comfort. But I digress. We are now just outside of Enderby,B.C., where we are going to rest for a…

Walk a Mile in my Orthopedic Shoes
Life is funny, isn't it. Especially the aging part. Days slip by without you realizing that time is creeping up on you and then one day reality hits. A body part starts to signal that things are, to put it delicately, declining. It's inevitable but it still surprises. Imagine my surprise then when seemingly out of nowhere, one of my feet started to be "a bit bothersome."

A Puzzling Situation
I have never really been interested in puzzles, (the kind that come in boxes that is) mainly because I am keenly aware of my inability to complete them without a struggle. Anything over 50 pieces is just too much to deal with. I have learned to live with my affliction, preferring to dwell on my creative skills.

You Light Up My Life
As Clark Griswold so aptly illustrated in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, one can never adorn their house with too many lights. When it comes to Christmas there is no such thing as an "excess of illumination." After all, what would Christmas be with out them? With that in mind, the Sisterhood recently spent time reminiscing about lights from their Christmas' past.

You Have to Walk Before You Can Run
Once upon a time, long long ago in a land far away (actually in a lounge in a Saskatoon hotel), three smart, sassy sisters made a bold, life-altering decision. It is a story of epic proportion.

Well That Was Fun!
Everyday life offers a myriad of potential challenges. It also offers a myriad of opportunities for humor and laughter. The Sisterhood can speak to both with a measure of authority. We have after all, a combined 195 years of experience on this earth. Collectively, we prefer to dwell on the funny side of life (hence the above picture of Little Sis laughing as she wrote her contribution to this post.) I mean really, if you can’t laugh at yourself, life must be very dull indeed. So it is with great humility and perhaps a splash of laughter, we offer our thoughts on what we refer to as “Our Most Embarrassing…

What a Difference a Year Makes?
On this Canadian Thanksgiving day, we once again gather to celebrate and of course give thanks. As always it’s a happy occasion with lots of conversation, laughter and delicious food. As a family, we are blessed. We Won’t Back Down One year ago, our Thanksgiving in the midst of Covid was an interesting ?? affair. Out of an abundance of caution, and because a vaccine was not yet available, we ate outside, sheltered from the pouring rain and huddled in the bone chilling cold. To put things in context, I refer you to our Thanksgiving post last year, titled “Thanksgiving in the Breezeway.” You have to read it to believe…

Hang in There
Our word of the month for September is PERSEVERANCE and all three sisters have vivid examples of their perseverance in the face of extreme challenges. Well, perhaps not extreme, but challenges nonetheless. What follows is a detailed and graphic account of each sister's very real struggle to overcome adversity.

Going to the Chapel of Love
Just a quick comment on the above picture. We are from left to right Big Sis’ whose chubby cheeks make her look like a 10 year old child bride, Middle Sis who begs the question “Was she adopted?” and Little Sis who looks adorable but inexplicably somewhat angry. Now for our story. In a few short months, (11 to be exact) Big Sis and her hubs will celebrate 50 years of wedded bliss. Yes, three kids, five grandchildren and lots of adventures later, they are still together. That is quite an accomplishment and it begs the obvious question…..where has the time gone? Cue the soft music, and rewind back in…
