My Sister's House


I was in the mountains again last week-end, but my journey was more than just a chance to camp out. A group of friends and I went up just before the week end but my motive was to give my sister a birthday present. She and her children had to evacuate from Lebanon during the most recent Israeli aggressions - with little more than the clothes on her back. So now that she is making her home here she is gradually assembling the things needed for day to day life. A frying pan can take on a whole new meaning you know!
Anyway I have been slowly gathering a camping house and when better to give it than on a camp out. I knew she was not able to stay overnight but I lured her up to a picnic - ensuring her presence with the assignment of food needed for the group.
She was surprised to say the least and I hope she is able to spend many a peaceful day in her new house - where-ever that may be. Happy Birthday little sister - with much love.

  1. hello,
    I liked your blog very much. I found your old one too! You are so lucky to already have a home in Bisbee. My husband and I gave up everything to escape Iowa and move to Bisbee, but for job reasons have been in Sierra Vista and then Fountain Hills, where I am now. We are trying to move there before Christmas, and I can't wait. I have some crazy pictures of my daughter and I in Bisbee, we spent ALOT of time there. My blog is http://wildsidecafe.blogspot.com
    if you care! Anyway, I loved your blogs and it was fun to find them. Maybe I'll see you around sometime, Julie
