Don't you just love it when....the conversation starts:
Did you say your name was Antonini?
Yeah
I think I met your brother.
Yeah? Which one?
Do you have more than one?
I have six
What! Holy shit, that makes you seven.
Yeah
Do all seven ever get together?
Sometimes
Is it fun?
It's great.
Wow! lucky you, that's amazing...
Do you have any sisters?

๐I saw that question coming, Ed. I just didn't expect it to be the punch line๐ค. Very clever!๐ I can almost see the grin on your face as you consider your friend's reaction to the answer you'd have to deliver. ⚅⚀.
๐If I were telling this story, it would be from a sister's point-of-view.๐ My friend would begin with the comment, "I think I met your sister"๐ญ and end with the question, "Do you have any brothers?๐ฌ
The amazing thing is that this story works both ways.๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ซ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Love you Ed,๐ซ Louise
At a very early sisters' reunion on Mount Washington we took a ride up the mountain on the ski lift. The person at the bottom was amazed that we were 7 sisters. When we got to the top they had radioed up to get that person to ask if we had any brothers. That's how I remember it. Correct any details, sisters, if my memory isn't clear.
๐ You remember it well, Christine!๐ก

๐GREETINGS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY, BRANDON!๐
๐ปToday we are posting wishes from the deck of a ferry off the west coast of Scotland๐ณ. This feels like a "moving" way for us to be celebrating your special day๐.
⌚In fact, we will spend several more hours travelling by road๐๐ across Scotland before we are back in our St. Andrews home this evening๐ก. We are already anticipating the warming birthday toast we will raise in honour of you at the end of our journey๐ท๐ท.
๐We hope your October 4th birthday is happy in its own way, Brandon๐. We have to say that you sure look "great at 48"๐. Cheers!๐ต๐ด
✉Lots of love,
Louise and David
