This last week has been exciting for me - I’ve been doing daily brain dumps/brainstorming sessions...
I’ve been up in Black Creek on Vancouver Island, visiting my sister Brooke and her family since Thursday, and it is SO good to see them all. The kids are 4 years older, so I was excited to see how much they’ve grown. I am so impressed with what rockstar kids they are and what a great mom Brooke is. I’ve tagged along to soccer practices and was able to watch one of their games this morning (Go Blue!). Brooke and I also went thrift store shopping Friday and tomorrow we are hitting up more thrift stores in another area.
It’s been great connecting with Brooke, catching up, telling stories that were too long to text, and oh boy, the best part, Brooke’s cooking. I’ve been served a beautiful salmon dinner with the salmon they caught this summer, her mac and cheese, and last night was Brooke’s famous schnitzel and spatzle dinner with homemade sourdough discard focaccia. We are happily having leftovers tonight for dinner. YAY I get it twice!
Brooke and I have always shared certain quirks, and boy oh boy we share even more since we last compared lol. A lot in common so you can totally tell we are sisters lol. We are having so much fun catching up, and I’m here until Tuesday, so it’s not a rushed visit, which is better for me. Brooke is really good with knowing my limits, so we’ve not been overdoing it, despite the temptation.
So to celebrate the amazing connection I have with my superstar sister Brooke, this week’s quotes are on the connection that siblings have.
