As I was thinking about finally doing my July mosaic, I realized that I hadn't done my June mosaic, or completely finished my beach vacation pics. My 365 are miss-numbered!! Oh well. This is pretty appropriate for Friday, so I'll catch up today.
At this restaurant, you put your name in, get your own drink, and wait out on the dock for your turn to go in and order.
Trying to imagine life without a sister? It's so weird to think about. I've gone through SO much with my sister, so many memories, of us trying to kill each other, us hiding in bed together because we [well she mostly] were scared of monsters lurking around, our inside jokes [ga-goo! arf! *acting as if I'm running away with pants full of jewelry*] seriously this stuff makes NO SENSE to anybody but us but to this day it never fails to make us burst out giggling, ripping people off [such as our infamous story where we went door to door asking for charity for some church and then we proceeded to spend all the money on candy instead!], coming up with our own sister code style of signing, getting into and out of trouble together, so many tales of tears, laughter, hugs, punching, jealousy, and love, it's endless. It's also especially special when you go through a not so "normal" childhood and you in general feel alone in that experience but then you remember, your sister went through it too and no matter what, your sister will always understand.
I came home from sewing class tonight and messaged my sister [who was at mom's place next door] telling her to come over so we could do our portrait. She came over and told me "so I guess some things just don't change eh?" Apparently I donkey-kicked her in my sleep last night! HAHA! Oops.

Day 189
13th February
When I was little my Mum and Dad bought a bit of land from a neighbour a few doors down to stop him selling it to developers, it wasn't very much land but enough to make their garden and their next-door neighbour's garden quite a lot bigger.
On the land there was a derelict, wooden building which we all worked together on one summer knocking down. On knocking it down we discovered what the building used to be, it was once a builders merchants, a victorian tea shop and an apothecary. It was a amazing what we found (along with some dead rats), some amazing old signs, a toffee making machine & lots and lots of these lovely glass bottles.
These bottles keep on unearthing themselves in Dad's garden - these are on their kitchen windowsill and it reminds me of that summer every time I see them :)
Happy 61st Mum x
