Holiday time means family time! Are you ready? Well, I am! I am talking in all exclamations because I have exciting family news! Not another grandchild, I am thrilled with just one more addition in January! No, my great news is that my sister is coming to see me for 11 whole days!!!! She lives in British Columbia (the most beautiful place, except for Paradise). If I am lucky, I get to see her once or twice a year. And I anticipate these visits more than Christmas! She is that great!
I know she will read this, but I don't really care. Describing her just makes me smile! She is amazing! Oh, and I have to say she is my baby sister. The one I had to "put up with" as a child. Well, not any more. This is Jane: There is nothing she can't do, and no, I did not teach her anything! The biggest thing to this timid equestrian: she knows her way around a horse! While my cousin and I were reading movie magazines and dreaming about Elvis, she and my other cousin (her age) were dreaming of horses, plotting to ride horses any way they could and stalking them. Never boys or dates, just big, scary animals! She is currently the proud owner of two horses (I think, unless she has rescued another one).
But that is just the tip of the sister! She is a fearless cook. No food has ever intimidated my sister! Can I say sushi, crepes, tamales, Nanaimo bars, Dutch oven on the horse trail, etc.,no fear! She goes for it!
Not to stop there, there is no remodeling, construction project or crazy building idea that intimidated her either. She can or has attempted (usually successfully) tiling, wallpaper, painting anything, dry wall, plumbing, chicken coops, all of it, except for electrical...thank goodness she draws a line somewhere! Her secret weapon here is an equally talented husband who is her partner in crime for most projects! I love this about her! Brave, strong and talented! And she was the "baby!"
Just a preview of the amazing Jane! I will bring you a taste of some of our adventures coming up! I can't wait until Tuesday! I don't even have to clean my house or cook! All she needs is an electric blanket on her bed!
Pray:
Father, protect my sister as she travels. Give me and all of us times with our families that are blessed!
Amen
