My sister, Jolene, has been in town for most of the month,
but we have seen very little of each other.
She has been staying with her daughter-in-law, Stefanie, in Provo
while I've been working in West Jordan.
When I found out that she would be staying with Mom for a few days,
I decided that I needed to head south for a weekend visit.
A girls' sleepover seemed just the thing!
However, Mom's studio apartment is a little cramped for three overgrown girls,
so I kidnapped them and headed for my house.
We chattered, laughed, reminisced, laughed, ate, laughed,
and then laughed some more.
There is something about us girls being together
that gives us the giggles!
Jo and I took turns playing the piano and we tried to get Mom to sing along,
but we have seen very little of each other.

Jo and I took turns playing the piano and we tried to get Mom to sing along,
but she told us that just like her ambition, her voice got up and went!
We perused books, talked about pet projects,
and after it got dark we turned out the lights and told ghost stories!
(Well, sort of ... we really couldn't remember any, but I did some pretty decent ghost howls).
We even tried playing Truth or Dare,
but Mom didn't understand the game and Joey didn't cooperate very well.
BUT ... we did laugh a lot!
What we missed the most was having Nancy with us.
We weren't complete without her.

Mom can't remember us even having the sleepover...she's "slowly" remembering some of the high points. I love being with my family because we tend to laugh and laugh. I gues everything is funnier when you are with those you love.
Gospel, laughter, music, and people you love. Everything that is good in life stems from these four things!
It's good to see some pictures of Granny Goose. She looks well. I guess sisters are never too old for a sleepover!
