At first I thought I'd need to take off this afternoon and pick her up at the airport, but my other sister M---- remembered that the previous commitment that would have prevented her from doing this was on Wednesday, not today.
So I went over to M----'s house straight from work to see them all. What fun! When we sisters are together, we laugh and laugh -- it reminds me of my mother and her sisters together. B---- was asleep early, though. It's always tough for her to switch to a west coast schedule; she usually doesn't try.
