My sisters, Ayana and Kerissa. These two have been on and off roommates since 1996. Sister relationships are simultaneously complex and simple. I know this from personal experience, and also from the semi-objective observation of my sisters' relationship. At the end of any given day, a sister loves the way only a sister can - it is something quite special. I spent last weekend with these present-day roomies and they helped me to forget my troubles for a while. I am so grateful for them and I hope will have many more days and adventures before us.
Throwback Thursday: Sunday Morning at Whitehall Terrace
Remember Sunday morning in fancy dresses and shiny shoes? I do. This was likely taken before we went on our way to Clermont. More memorable than our clothes or the long ride to church is home - my grandparents' house on Whtie Hall Terrace. We lived in the attached apartment next door. So many memories reside at that address. Those memories have become more striking in the recent absence of my grandparents.
Throwback Thursday: Literally No Idea What Was Going On . . .
I have no idea what was going on in this photo, but I sure would like to know who it is that we were looking at! What I do seem to remember is that we were visiting New York, possibly for the first time since leaving there in 2000. I feel like our faces and our postures here pretty much capture our personality, even to this day. Also, I miss New York. There are parts of New York life that I could do without, but there is something about the place and the people of New York that entices me still.
