Sepia Sisters

TWO sisters TWO real live angels!
angels sold, sorry

Who watches out for you? I have already posted that for me it is my two older sisters,
AGGIE & COLLEEN
Sister Colleen is on the far left~ Aggie is the middle
beautiful aren't they?
I am still years from being born yet.

When I was a young girl, my sisters 15 & 16 years older than me, I went to see this movie
WHERE ANGELS GO.. TROUBLE FOLLOWS
and
there were my two sisters on the screen, well not really...

You see my sister Colleen, shown here with her husband Richie,
were married when I was three.


Colleen always has a smile and beautiful oval face with curly dark hair.
Yet, she reminds me of the blond in the movie. Yes, blonde.

Colleen & Richie just celebrated their
50th Wedding Anniversary!

To the right is my sister Aggie, who was the maid of honor. She has on the original
veil from the wedding. Colleen's I made for the party. Will share more of the celebration later...

Aggie was once a nun
a wonderful school teacher
and always is a great sis...

she has quite a sense of humor
a bit mischievous even

and still wears her hair short...

I remember when I was about 6 my parents brought
my twin brother and I to see Aggie at college in New York,
UNEXPECTED!
Ag and the girls where having a party for a girl just engaged in her dorm
toilet paper was strewn everywhere the eye could see
a white cloud that I will never forget!

So fitting that when my sister Aggie got up to give the toast at
Colleen and Richie's anniversary party
she rolled out a roll of toilet paper and said

" let me list all the many reasons that makes
C & R's relationship so special..."


AM I LUCKY , for sure.
