Happy Birthday Allison!

Today is my sister Allison's birthday. Actually it was yesterday because now it is past midnight. I thought I would write some wit and wisdom. I found and old journal the other day and as I was scanning found a poem that I wrote about Allison on the occasion of her 18th birthday.

Your always there when times are tough
Always kind (but sometimes gruff)
Although I sometimes muff
you're always there 'cause your made of the right stuff

You are still great Allie. Here are some other gems I found
Feb 1983
"Tonight was the etiquette dinner. My escort was Brian Ostler. I had fun but Allison had Brian Ball for an escort and she came home crying."
Feb 1982
"Allison baked peanut butter cookies and I couldn't have any. This diet is really getting to me."
"When I came home I had to do the dishes that Allison and Tiffany didn't do." (you are my sister, I couldn't just put the good stuff, no one would believe it)

Hope you had a great day!

awwww, sisters are the best...as are journals, especially from the tender teen years. i laugh so hard at some of the rants and raves which, at the time, were serious business for me. the more serious the rant, the more hilarious it is to read now.
