My Sisters, My Friends

When dad and I decided it was time to leave the old neigborhood in PINE Hills, I began to think of where would be a good place to live.

Of course it was no big question really cause I always wanted to live near my sister Donna! For years and we have been close, going places together, having garage sales together, going to movies, getting together on all the holidays, you name it!

So needless to say we moved to Eustis, Florida and downsized to a much smaller home in a nice neighborhood. It's full of friendly people and it just happened to be not so far from where Donna lives. As it turned out, Aunt Frankie, also wanted to get away from the Keys so she moved here but she got here a few years before we made our move. She and Damon moved in the near by town of Tavares.

Now all three of us sisters get to spend time together and will likely each grow old together. ha. We each enjoy the others company and try to get out to a movie together now and then or go to eat out. Donna still works, she will pop into the house on her way to work or stops by on her way home from work. Always, always ,watching the time! ha. Frankie is busy caring for her sick hubby these days who is pretty sick . Uncle Damon is a sweetie and we all love that guy! Get well soon Uncle Damon! Dad is maintaining their yard these days since Damon is not up to it anymore.

Dad and I have alot of time on our hands these days but we keep pretty busy! Dad does yard work for a couple of the single ladies here in the neigborhood which brings in some extra money and that helps our budget. I keep an eldery lady down the street when her daughter goes out of town which is also a great help. Life is pretty peaceful for the most part.

I really wish Frankie lived closer to Donna and I. For sure we girls would have even more time together. But most of all I am just happy to have two of the best sisters anyone could ever have living so close by.

I love you gals! Dottie
