Your sister is keeping the whole family busy.
Kudos to all of you!
Happy Sunday, fellow Islanders!
Compelled by my argumentative younger sister’s circumstances, I’ve been meeting regularly with my two younger siblings as we devise our respective strategies.
In what can be best described as a Counsel of War, my younger brother’s mission is rescue and recovery aimed towards our long suffering brother in law.
It will be his job to extract our brother in law from his wife’s bedside and take him to the nearest bar for a couple of beers and the opportunity to vent.
Smokescreens and diversions will be our baby sister’s purview. With a face like a kewpie doll and the voice of a chipmunk, she can talk nonstop for hours without anyone getting a word in edgewise.
Leaving our argumentative sister no choice but to finally take the pain medication her surgeon prescribed (but she thus far has refused to take) to escape the incessant chatter.
And then there’s my assignment. In every military operation there’s always someone who has to take the bullet.
Which means (in addition to my visits) I’ll be calling her every afternoon to listen to her complaints while agreeing with everything she says.
I hope that everything goes according to your plan!Happy Sunday, fellow Islanders!

This whole post tickled me but you got me with “a face like a kewpie doll and the voice of a chipmunk…”
)Oh my!!!Thank you, JVSXOXO.
While I would like to think that my family isn’t all that different from most families, our misadventures belie the fact. *
(* like the time my late oldest sister’s Persian cat leapt upon the picnic table during a family reunion and used the Jello salad for a litter box.
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July to all our American friends on the Island!
