That Cute Little Couple
Thanksgiving gives us pause and the opportunity to reflect on our good fortune and appreciation for the people who enrich our lives. It always falls very close to both Mom and Dad's birthdays, so in keeping with tradition, the Sisterhood organized a "Memorial Walk" to remember our parents, known to many as "That Cute Little Couple." Of course the walk was virtual and entirely voluntary.

Boobs and Bunions
We realize this is a gender specific post, having the potential to alienate anyone not at all interested in the topic. That is entirely up to you dear reader, but please be aware that it is a subject near and dear to the hearts of many women who will possibly benefit substantially from reviewing the following. Because we are gifted with what I would refer to as “Boobage”, women are often faced with a dilemma when it comes to working out. Your everyday, ordinary bra simply will not do when one is jumping, running and even walking, in the pursuit of physical fitness. Hence the need for a bra that…

How Are You?…. No Really, How Are You?
We all do it. Without a second thought we ask acquaintances and even strangers that standard, polite question: "How are you?" Those three words may even escape our lips several times a day. Then we wait for the standard, polite response: "Fine, thanks" or "Good, thanks." And that is pretty much that.

OOPS! I Left My Heart and My T-shirts in San Francisco
Our San Francisco adventure is nearing its end. We have two days left and the SFSWS (San Francisco Speaking With Strangers) competition is intense. Mag is leading but Kerri is gaining momentum and Shauna's efforts are nothing short of pathetic. Stay tuned folks.

I Can See Clearly Now
Shauna begins the day by waking up, putting on the wrong pair of glasses and freaking out because everything is blurry. Oops! They are Mag's glasses….What a relief! She thought that overnight her eyesight had deteriorated dramatically. This was an honest mistake and easy to understand when put into context because there have been accusations in the past that Shauna was trying to turn Mag into her clone. This is most unfair.

I Left My Heart In San Francisco
You are correct in your observation that the above picture looks as if we are facing a wind machine. It is not an optical illusion. We simply wanted definitive proof that we actually visited San Francisco and we felt that this picture would provide it…..where else would you find a gigantic heart with a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge on it? So there you go! We really were in San Fran.

February is the Shortest Month….
Like most people, I am convinced that years from now, the year 2020 will be remembered as a watershed, momentous time in our history. When it began, I was determined to spend it being creative, innovative and positive. Every month, I was going to do something spectacular! Little did I know that my intention would be taken entirely out of my hands, and depend upon the course of Covid-19. With that in mind, I offer thoughts from a point in time when life was still quite “normal” and we could to a certain extent control how our destiny unfolded. What follows then, now seems quite naive and self absorbed, but…

Fitness is Fun!
Our Sisterhood blog and Instagram posts have often alluded to our "fondness for fitness"....and its true, we do believe that fitness is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. In fact, even when we are not exercising, we are certainly thinking about doing it, (some of us spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about doing it) The obvious conclusion is that although we are in general agreement as to the health benefits of exercise, we each incorporate varying levels of it into our daily routine.

Having Fun is #1….
Have you ever wanted to just get away? Well, after our mom Betty passed that is exactly what we wanted to do, so we booked a cruise to Alaska! In preparation for our trip, we conferred over packing lists, discussed possible shore expeditions and shared our hopes and dreams for this "magical journey." First and foremost, however, we established the one unwavering theme of this voyage....."Having Fun is Number One!"

“We’ll Never See These People Again….”
Senior Athletic Adventure Canada was a brilliant idea. There was, however, a minor glitch.....Kerri just couldn't remember the name. (If you are a member of a group, it's important to know the name of said group). We tried using just the initials SAAC and even "S double A C", to no avail. It became painfully obvious that a name change was in order.....hence, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Shoes was born.
