A Room With A View

This past weekend

I was "feeling very into sisters"...and mom.

We (all those in MI)

packed our bags...loaded

Tina's new Caddy

and hit the road to see missing

sister #4 (and her family)

who live outside of Indy.

Mary and Ed have a beautiful home.

But this November

scene...

right outside their dining room

window...

kept stealing my

attention.

Each moment...every new angle of

the sun...

made me want to grab

my camera.

Early mornings were all mine

since for some odd reason

I was waking at 5 a.m.

That gnarly Buckeye tree

silhouetted on the

landscape

created the perfect

Halloween backdrop.

This view from their lower level...

a rolling hill...

that leads to

the garden gate...

which opens to a world of natural wonder...

a world with walking trails

coyote droppings...Osage orange treasures...

and winding surprises...

gave me reason to pause.

Sisters.

We talked and talked

laughed and cried...

shopped and cooked

hiked and played...

watched Hallmark holiday movies

ate and drank...

and drank some more

shared a bed like the good old days...

went to church.

We surrounded ourselves with those we love...

(things are so over-rated).

A line we love to quote

with our husbands nearby for an added laugh...

"Husbands come and go...but sisters are forever!" Thank you sisters...

I needed that!
