Sister Time.....

 A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves - a special kind of double


My sisters came and now they are gone.  Time went by so fast but, even so we managed to have a wonderful few days together.  Like all families once we are together all distances are bridged and there is non-stop chatter...so much to catch up on.

In these few short days we managed to do so much.  First they arrived and stayed with Arvid and I in our apartment.  That in itself was lots of fum.   Arvid is just way cool with them and conversation just flows so naturally.

The main reason for all of us getting together was to help my sister Mala with some packing because as I mentioned in a previous blog she is leaving Florida and heading to Vermont......as you can see we moved quite a bit of furniture from one level to the other.  Was heavy but, in all of this we had a blast as evidenced by Rima's smile....it was close to midnight and we were still working....

We also managed to visit my uncle.  My dad's brother and family and that was also a great time.  Met with our cousins whom we do not see that often yet, it was as if we see and talk to each other everyday....  was just great to be around family and to have such a relaxing time.

My cousin Natasha...who by the way is gorgeous let us try on some of her beautiful Saris. For a while we were transported to a wonderful world of colors.....





We had such a great time in between Margaritas that it was a shame to leave but, as you know all good things come to an end......

The next day we left Mala's home and headed back to Fort Lauderdale straight to Galleria MalI.  What a fun time it is to shop with your sisters.  As you may imagine we had a blast....

Then it was back home for us.  Dinnertime and today it was ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB on the menu.  YES!!!

Dinner was excellent. All of us over ate....even Arvid. After dinner we cruised along Las Olas Blvd and experienced a little of everything Las Olas......we had a great time laughing and just joking around.....I am lucky....

It was great seeing my uncle and aunts, mom and dad and cousins and of course my sisters. Can't wait for the next time we get together again...


The only one missing was my sister Nirvana.  Hopefully next time she will be able to come....

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family”



until next time....
