Happy Birthday, Janie!

I know that it's been ages since I last wrote a blog, and that you've been waiting to hear the gossip—but I have no news on that front. I'll just say that it's been "interesting" and that I'll give details another time. My other sister is coming in (she and hubby in RV from CA) today. It is her 70th birthday, and we're excited for them to arrive. I mention Jan's age with a quote from her: "I've been making a fool of myself declaring to all I meet that my birthday is coming and I'll be 70.  Folks look at me strangely, but I don't care,  I sure never expected to get this far.  It's wonderful." She is a type one diabetic, and has been insulin dependent since she was 6 years old—one of only two in the US to have survived so long! They are both looking to go down in the record books as the oldest surviving diabetic—and I'm betting on sis.  Hugs!

How nice to have both your sisters there at one time. Enjoy and take pictures. I'd love to see a picture of the 3 of you. Is there any other siblings we don't know about?

Long time no blogging but for a good reason. Glad you are having some "sis" time. We miss you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and hurry back here with stories.
