My baby sister is cominng to town.

YIPPEEE!!!

MindoverMary, linked at right, will be here late tonight, courtesy Continental Airlines.

I just can’t hardly wait.  I’m like a kid before Christmas wanting to tear open the packages.

Mary taught my whole family to hug.  I mean that.  She was the one who insisted on physical affection in a family that wasn’t physically affectionate.

If she did nothing else in her life, that one loving decision would make her a saint in my eyes.

She’s the baby, but she wasn’t spoiled.  She faced her own hard knocks and problems, no doubt about it.

When Mom told her that it was as easy to fall in love with a rich guy as a poor guy, she took that seriously and married two guys with money.

It’s not how well you marry, it’s how well you divorce, they say. 

Mary’s daughter, her oldest child, will be getting married in December and we’re all going to Charleston to see the nuptials.  That will be so much fun.

If I seem to drag a little tomorrow, it’s because Mary and I couldn’t go to sleep tonight doing the sleepover talk and laugh thing.

OH I JUST CAN’T WAIT!!!
