Sisters

       I am lucky to have a sister in my life. She is two years younger than I and we have always been close. In fact, when I remember back when we were young and she was more like my best friend than my little sister. We'd play games using only our imaginations, running around the backyard each of us in our mind envisioning a wild forest, or holding our dolls imagining they were sweet little babies crying and needing our undivided attention. We'd teach our imaginary students, drawing large letters and diagrams on our blackboards, and we'd play tennis in Nan and Pops backyard, as well as being the commentators for our 'outstanding' game.

       A few posts ago (here) I shared some of our funny childhood stories, and it inspired me to try and record some of these memories. I decided a fun way to do so would be to capture them all in the form of a type of children's story book - funny little cartoon illustrations and our funny little stories to go along with them.

       So I bundled all the childhood photos together and took them home and started sorting and reminiscing. I've only done two illustrations so far, and I have a feeling it will be a long project, but a fun one.

Obviously it's not my birthday
