Through the Curtains

It's my sister's 43rd birthday today! I wish I could open the curtains and see her standing there but she lives in Australia and it's been 2 years since our last hug.

Thanks for all your comments and fav's lately... your response has put so many of my shots on the PP, which always makes me smile! My mom too! She's on here more than me I think and calls to give me "fav" updates!!

@m9f9l You are far too kind! I am so out of shape! If this cold/flu ever goes away I am going to start back into a regular exercise routine!

@kandkids I'm sure my mom will appreciate your "happy giving birth day" comment! I don't think I've ever heard that one before... I like it! I know from experience it is a rather big day in one's life!!
