Dream Girls
No. Not the Movie.
Me and my two sisters. A trip to the ocean.
We're going to meet at a lodge right on the beach where you can watch the waves roll in, the seals frolicking in the surf, and the the local kite enthusiasts digging in for the strong Pacific Ocean breezes.
This weekend is long over due.
I remember our very first sister weekend was scheduled when our fourth sister was still alive. Nelda called at the last moment and begged off because she had a sore throat. She never recovered. The diagnosis was an acute form of leukemia and she was gone before any of us could say goodbye.
My sister Sandra is someone that Swampwitch would call her SOS or Sister of Survival. She beat breast cancer. Because of her fight I signed up and was accepted into a breast cancer research study coined the Sisters Study. I have given my blood, my urine, my vital statistics, and of all things, the dust in my house to be monitored over a period of years. "The Sister Study is the only long-term study of women aged 35 to 74 whose sister had breast cancer."
So, in the morning I'm going to drive six hours in order to smell the ocean.
While there, Sandra, Trish and I will spend a few days just being sisters. We're going to walk on the sand and check out the tidal pools. We'll probably go out for dinner and then talk late into the night. The sounds of the tide coming in will finally lull us to sleep and then wake us early with the sea birds calling for their breakfast.
I'm taking my bird book, my camera, my binoculars, and my blanket.
See you next week!

Have a great time with your sisters by the seaside have fun. (((HUGS)))
pictures, you better take LOTS of them to post.
my 3 sisters and I are trying to get something like this organized for the 1st week of April, I hope it all comes together.
While there, she told my dad she was going to bring me and my sister back there the next year for just a girls trip - and she did!! Just my mom, me and my sister (leaving all husbands and children at home) flew to Portland, we rented a car, drove directly to Newport, Oregon and we were beached!! It was absolutely the grandest time I think I have ever had - top 3 anyway for sure! We laughed and laughed and giggled and cavorted like nobody's business. EVERYONE should have a trip like that! I am so excited for you and I KNOW you will have a fabulous time and build precious memories that will last a lifetime and a half. Yay for trips and triple yay for family!!!
take care:)
Hope you had a good time!
hgave fun. bring back lots of pictures and be sure to get sand between your toes.
I don't have any sisters, so be sure to fill in every detail about your trip so I don't miss out on all the fun!

Can't wait to see some pictures!

BTW my little one who is four loves birds too. For Christmas she asked for a bird spy kit (binoculars) so she could spy on the birds from her window.
Take heaps of photos.
Sounds like a lovely trip ahead. Smell the ocean for me.
