did you say “decorate”?
Today I’m headed for DC to see my niece, Marcie! I’ll hook up with her mom (my sister) in Dallas. Marcie has moved into a new apartment and actually invited us to come decorate!
Can you believe it? My sister asked me if I thought this means she likes “old stuff” now! Nah, it’s just an offer she knows we won’t refuse!
She’s willing to pay the price of having her apartment at the mercy of her mom and me in order for us to come for a visit! I’m sure there will be a rule or two, but when she leaves for work Friday morning all bets are off!
The best part is that I get to put on my “aunt hat”! I have two nieces and three nephews and I adore them all! I have worked tirelessly since each of them was born for them to adore me in return! So far so good!
When you look up “aunt” in the Janet-Dictionary it says: spoil ‘em rotten! I take that very seriously!

This is Marcie and me at Thanksgiving last year! I can hardly wait to get there! It will be a fun time with lots of laughs! Wonder if I should take my hammer and nails? Uh-oh…..

hahah I’m pretty sure all I had to say was “I have lots of blank walls” and you 2 had plane tickets booked within minutes.
Can’t wait! 3 hours and ticking…

Hope you have a great trip and visit. I would think that decorating is second to visiting your sister.

When did she grow up??? I remember when y’all were getting ready for her to leave for summer camp. She had just came back home from spending part of the summer with you shopping and working for Bruce. Where on earth did the time go! You are the special auntie and sister!
