It's time to...come home from the Island. M. and I were staying with our parents this weekend to celebrate various sisters' birthdays and our arrival. The first night was so cozy; all five of us visiting (my next-eldest sister is in Quebec working) spent the night with our husband and boyfriends in tow. We ate kabobs, chicken and ribs off the bbq and enjoyed the 10 PM sunset (yes, that's how late it sets in these parts in summer!) over glasses of wine and tequila mixer. After taking shifts cleaning up the kitchen ("I call unloading the dishwasher!") we settled in downstaires to watch a movie. But the best part was each of us taking to a room for the night, knowing we had a big breakfast together ahead in the morning. Having so many sisters as an adult is such a treat! We all enjoy each other and love each other's company. It's like having a best friend to the 10th degree, because you know each other in and out, you know you will stay in each other's lives for the duration and there is such a rich history and understanding.
Monday we went tubing down the river together (again with our sweeties in tow) for about four hours. I wish I took pictures, but my camera was dead. Anyway, imagine ten people floating down the river, drinking and laughing and occasionally getting flipped. I was sad to see the weekend end.
