She sent me a text the other day, as I was leaving work, saying turnip greens and cornbread were still warm if I wanted some. The food hit the spot, but the simple pleasure is knowing she's around the corner, a stone's throw away. I smile everytime I drive by her street. Life without her would be hard.

I have twin brothers and grandsons. .I just planted turnips in my garden. They sound so good.

Oh, Gayle,
ReplyDeleteYou are so fortunate to have your twin sister living so close to you. My sisters live in another state (as do my two daughters) and it is not easy to keep relationships "fresh" when we are spread so far apart. Cherish your closeness!

Dottie, I would LOVE to have twin grandsons!
ReplyDeleteMs.Daisy, I do cherish our closeness. I lived four hours away for over 20 years.
Oh, to be so close--physically and emotionally--God bless you both!
ReplyDeleteLove, D.
Treasure the closeness! Mine are out of state.
ReplyDeleteNothing like someone who can read your heart!
Joining you @ Simple Pleasures.
You know those feelings are quite mutual, dear twin sis. Love our closeness, in all the ways that matter.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you linked up today. I miss you when you're absent.
Dayle, My sister is an hour away, and I'm glad she's that close! Family is such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Simple Pleasures!
This is truly a blessing and though I only "know" you through this blog world, your love for each other reads loud and clear. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this...what a blessing to live so close!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I think you know by now HOW MUCH I relate to this. I have one sister who lives in Colorado, and we lost my brother many years ago. I will never take for granted the pleasure of living near my sister... and that mother of ours too.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love that picture of the two of you. Whenever you post Gayle/Dayle pictures, I think of the Mary Kate and Ashley identical twin song, "I am the cute one. She's just my sister."
Grin.
I always wanted a sister...didn't have one. And I'm currently living far from family...and missing them very much...so your sweet and lovely post has really struck a chord with me today. You are abundantly blessed, and I am rejoicing with you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
These pictures are great and you guys are so lucky..my sister and I were separated when we were young. We both know how hard life is with absolutely no family in your corner. We reunited three years ago and although we're not twins..she's older than me...we've become very very close. She's now 6 hours away but she used to live an ocean away.
ReplyDeleteSisters are precious. I have two. One lives 25 minutes drive away the other lives in Arkansas which is a looong plane ride away from me. Modern technology keeps us close though and for that I'm thankful. What cute little babies you both were!
ReplyDeleteSuch a blessing to have your sister close by.
ReplyDeleteFamily...living close...yes, that is a pleasure. I know because our daughter and her little family live "a stones throw" from us!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! ~ I didn't get linked up this week. Hope to join in again next week.
ReplyDeleteSister... a blessing and a treasure!
ReplyDeleteGod has granted me with a wonderful sister! From the sound of this post you too have been blessed!
