Julie and I (and Rick)

Originally uploaded by bbmarie.

My sister Julie and I are 18 monthes apart, I am older. Julie just started a blog….I am here to promote It! She is a great writer. The color picture of us is at an opening of a musical play she wrote based on the Russian Folktales of Baba Yaga….I am very proud of her for many reasons….Julie has battled cancer for years. Her blog is not for the faint of heart, but if you read all the posts, you will discover a sweet sense of humor a tenacious love of life—really living… all the triumph and shit that comes our way… I am deeply sad Julie has had to struggle with cancer….I don’t even pretend to understand it, but I know she is making good with her life–and what more can we do? Maybe you need to read this, maybe you know someone who does–pass on the link, I suggest you go to the archives and start at her first post which was on JUNE 18, 2006, love –brenda

looking forward

We are looking forward to moving back to GR…..especially the kids. They are so looking forward to it - it is almost scary. The hard part of it is -we have approximately 3 weeks before we move. This is an eternity to children. As a woman who has been over 3 weeks late twice in pregnancy, I know I can handle it. But can I handle 4 kids obsessed with moving and wanting to be there already? (Grace and Rain don’t exactly have a clue….. although Grace has a bit of a grasp). Rose and Pearl suggested today that we walk, yes they want me their old mother to take them there on foot! When I said that was impossible, they started campaigning for bicycling! They said it would be worth all the trouble and pain, just so they wouldn’t be stuck here waiting, at least they would be on their way. So any ideas on how to deal with this? Let me know….You New Yorkers, we love you - the kids just miss their friends……brenda
