A story
Once upon a time there were four sisters; from l-to-r, twins Sharon & Karen, the baby Ann, and the best big sister in the whole wide world, Vicki. (Heh.) On occasion they'd all be in the same place at the same time and someone would suggest taking pictures!
One of the sisters (Sharon) never liked picture-taking time very much, and this time began to grump and complain about Karen being too close and touching her.
Vicki & Ann gave a demonstration on appropriate behavior and how to sit next to each other without touching.
Ann continued by giving an example of inappropriate and in-your-face behavior.
Sharon responded in typical Sharon fashion, grabbing Karen's boob! "I've got your touching right here!"
Vicki exclaimed, "OMG! Really? You really DID that?"
Then their mom came and sat down in the middle and everyone was on their best behavior for the rest of the day.
The end.

We all sure had some good times together.

Remembering my sister Sharon today -- June 15, 1960-December 17, 2010 -- and missing her always.
Sending love and light as you remember the happy times along with the sad. ♥

I love seeing your family pictures. So unfair that you lost your sister much too young.

Thank you for sharing these pictures! I worked with Sharon for many years. Bill told me to look up your blog. Sharon was a remarkable woman and I was blessed to have known her.
