Janny, I love what you said:
“Do have to laugh a bit–we should create some great tales together about what we have done…all the boring minutia explained…“folded six towels and three blouses, six pairs of socks…” THEN I washed my hair with Pantene and CONDITIONED it…Had a fantastic time…have to be a little silly some times…”
I have to contend with all the darn iPhone texts with photos of all my family members, most who are back east but even my sister who lives about an hour from me. Holiday weekends are the worst. We are all on a group text thread, and there are 6 siblings plus their kids plus my father and his new family. It goes like this:
Sister: “What is everyone doing right now? we’re having a great time in Hawaii” [4 photos of snorkeling in crystal blue water, running down black lava sands, neice diving into water]
Next sibling: “We’re in Maine and went skiing all morning and now we are sitting down for a great Italian dinner that your Dad just made!” [photos of ski slopes with my dad and stepsister skiing, photo of huge homemade Lasagna] note: my Dad is 81.
So it goes on & on like this with everyone and I think of typing my great weekend activities like “got out of bed for an hour and took a shower” [photo of new loofah sponge inserted here.]
It’s so nice to have others who understand! And nice to laugh about it!
