Going away sneaks....

Well, I am gonna miss my sisters. I leave in a week. Geez.

Tonight, as Bailey and Ginny were headin to bed they asked me to read them a bedtime story. I agreed. They picked out this book about a Japanese girl leaving America in the wake of Pearl Harbor. This had no real relevance to me, but when I read about the girl looking for the last and final time at all she loved in her country I started tearing up. I looked at Bailey and Ginny and that really sent me over the edge. I will miss them so much.

Then, I decided even though they had been told to go to bed, we should stay up and relish in the final days of being together. Over the years, this trick has been our favorite. Mom and Dad say to go to bed and we quietly sneak out of bed and make dessert, take pictures, try not to laugh out obnoxiously. Good memories. Tonight was most likely our last "sneak"(Baileys word for various, exciting disobediences) for awhile.

The icecream truck has finally begun playing its music down our streets(Dad used to tell us that if the song played they were out of icecream!). While I was gone Sunday, the girls rode the golfcart down to it and bought themselves and me Screwballs. This blue icecream sherbet type snowcone looking thing with a big gumball at the bottom. My favorite since childhood. I have been so busy with my trip these days I didn't have a chance to eat it. Well, for our final "sneak" we tiptoed past bedtime to the freezer and snuck the blue goodies. Very dangerous, I know.=) Bailey and Ginny thought it was. Especially, when we snapped that tasty pic up top and I promised to have it 'published' on my blog. They crack me up. They couldn't stay awake another second, even to see the finished blog with their pic. They just turned in.
