Sisters celebrating sisters

One funeral and two snow storms later, we finally celebrated my January birthday and my sister Kathy's February birthday today at Farm Dover. Ed returned from an afternoon of Shelbyville errands just in time to take a photo of the four Carpenter girls.

Growing up, my mom always liked to dress us alike; that tradition obviously continues today with plaid scarves from my recent trip to Cambodia.

My youngest sister pointed out that we are now sisters representing our 40s, 50s, and 60s. I won't say which one is which.

It was a rainy day, but we had a fire to keep us warm and lots of laughter to brighten the afternoon.
