I was hanging around in my house the other day, painting a bit here and there, de-cluttering - getting the house ready to sell. I was also preparing for a meeting later in the afternoon which was fated not to occur. My sister, Sandy, was coming to Socorro to have lunch and celebrate her UNM graduation - 55 years in coming was certainly deserving of celebration. Tim saw a vehicle drive in and told me that Sandy had people with her. People? Here? With Sandy? What the......? Sandy arrived first at the door and before I could offer a hug, one more person came around the corner, then another, and then another. Who were these attractive strangers? Stranger no. 1 was my sister, Nancy, 2nd was my sister, Karen, and 3rd was my sister, Wendy. A breeze could have knocked me against the wall. Surprise? That is the understatement of the century - it's been TEN years at least since I've seen these three characters. Unlike Sandy who lives in nearby Albuquerque, Nancy, Karen and Wendy were visiting from New England, USA!
Apparently, the scheming threesome had been planning their surprise since last summer: to attend Sandy's graduation and then to visit Tim and I prior to our expatriation to Oz. Long story short, five of us women talking and complaining about our weight, new wrinkles, etc. became too much for Tim and Gavin. Both quietly escaped after our EXTENSIVE photo taking session. Please view this
slideshow to catch some of the excitement (and five beautiful women!).
