Yesterday I was talking to my 'older' sister on Skype. (Tee hee hee. I can hear her now. What! I'm not older!) Actually I am the oldest sibling, but she is my oldest sister, so I finally get to say older about one of them besides myself.
Anyway I was going over with her which old pictures from Mom I didn't have and then we were going through who was who in them and where and so on.
I had one picture of us when we were younger and I didn't know some of the kids in the picture, so I was showing it to her in the webcam. She knew right away who everyone was and began relating times and experiences involving some of the kids in the picture.
She rekindled a memory that had left me long ago about the old car with the rumble seat in the back. This old car belonged to Gail's family and some of us got to have a ride in it. I don't remember riding in it, but I do remember the car.
I find it so fascinating that memories about the same times and places while we were growing up are so different for each of us.
I love my siblings very much and look forward to and enjoy all the times we get to spend together and cherish the stories about memories of when we were all growing up on Twigg Island. I often think how lucky we are to have such a close relationship with each other.
