Farewell to Nova Scotia Part Three! . The Sisterho

Farewell to Nova Scotia Part Three!
.
The Sisterhood views vacation time as an opportunity for fun and frivolity. We have often found the bar/lounge atmosphere to be of particular assistance in that regard and our Nova Scotia trip proved no exception.
.
On a whim, we decided to forgo our usual Pinot Grigio (Big Sis), Prosecco (Middle Sis), and Beer (Little Sis) in favor of a pitcher (or two) of Sangria.
.
For some reason, Big Sis kept referring to it as “Sangarita.” This was an unfortunate misstep because Middle and Little immediately jumped on it. The implication of course being that Big Sis had over indulged. Nothing could be further from the truth!
It was merely a”creative slip of the tongue.”
.
It is highly likely that this will continue to haunt Big Sis in the long term. She is, however, determined to rise above it all and take the high road. As traumatic as this experience has been, she will survive😊.
.
Nova Scotia was both exciting and exhausting, and we are in need of a period of recuperation, so we are taking a short summer break. See you again in mid September. Cheers.

Farewell to Nova Scotia Part Two
.
Little Sis decided to travel with some cash on our trip to Nova Scotia. Not really an issue until she realized there wasn’t a safe in our hotel room. Being the creative one that she is, she decided to stash her cash in the freezer compartment of our fridge.
.
All was well until the Sisterhood had to change rooms and in the shuffle she forgot about the cash stashed in the freezer. After about an hour she realized that she had left it behind.
.
A panicked call to the manager thankfully allowed her to retrieve the cash. The look on the manager’s face when she pulled the cash envelope out of the freezer was priceless. When he asked her why she had cash in the freezer, she replied, cool as a cucumber, (no pun intended) “it’s just my walking around money,” giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “cold, hard cash.” 🤣

Farewell to Nova Scotia Part One
.
Middle Sis really likes to relax on vacation. Really, really relax. So much so that she decided to attend the breakfast room at the Inn where they were staying in her nightgown and robe. This brought a few strange looks and raised eyebrows from other patrons, but Middle Sis just smiled and sipped her coffee- she was on vacation people! A few days later she did attend the breakfast room fully dressed which was met with “I didn’t recognize you without your bathrobe,” from the lady who served breakfast. Rest assured that this did not deter Middle Sis from wearing her robe to breakfast for the rest of their stay. 🤣

We’re Back…

Yes, The Sisterhood is back from their travel adventures, and we have stories to tell!
.
Big Sis starts us off with details of her recent trip to Australia. She and hubby saw some spectacular scenery along The Great Ocean Road, learned a bit of Australian history and spent quality time with their daughter. It was not,however, without some “glitches.”
.
The above picture is her passport and if you think it looks a bit worse for the wear, you would be right. (Notice the fold lines in the upper right corner and the passport binding which has certainly seen better days.)
.
Check out our latest blog post titled “G’day Mate” if you want to know what happened. It’s quite unusual.

Recently, Big Sis had an Amazon package arrive at her house. Given that she receives so many packages that she’s on a first name basis with the Amazon delivery person, this was nothing out of the ordinary. However, when the contents were revealed and no one claimed ownership, she immediately went into detective mode to discover the origin of this mysterious package.

With February over and done, we thought you might be wondering how successful each of the Sisters were in completing their individual challenges. While the Sisterhood is all about female empowerment, Big, Middle and Little Sis also believe that a little bit of healthy competition among sisters is not a bad thing and decided to declare a challenge winner.

This smiling lady is our paternal Grandmother. She didn’t live close to us so we didn’t know her well,
but she left us an interesting legacy.

Because she was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland we are eligible to apply for Irish citizenship and Big Sis has decided to do just that.

Hmmm…..

Sometimes Little Sis just can’t stop thinking about stuff. At times she’s thinking about how to solve the problems of the world and other times it’s about what to have for lunch.

This week her thoughts are all about what the future holds.

If it walks like a duck…

… it could be a highland dancer and, as a former highland dancer, Middle Sis knows the importance of proper foot “turnout.”
.
And so, in preparation for the upcoming Sisterhood trip to Antigonish Nova Scotia, where not only will they be doing a 5km race, but will also be attending the Antigonish Highland Games, Middle Sis is practicing her turnout and taking a little trip down Highland Fling memory lane.

Big Sis Lets Go
.
Recently Big Sis had a revelation about being in her 70s. She realized that, while there are aches and pains and challenges that come with being this age, there also comes wisdom and freedom from caring what other people think. When she made a list of things she had let go caring about, it included wearing dresses and high heeled shoes among other things.
.
With this revelation Big Sis was also instrumental in developing the Sisterhood motto “We’ll never see these people again,” which has given us the freedom to have a lot of fun and laughter in our travels.
