These are the kind of stories I hear so often.... My twin passed at birth, but it would have been fun to have siblings, especially younger ones.

Good afternoon Bruce, have a great day... We've had a bunch of new birds visiting. Blue Jays, cardinals and several I can't identify.

Good afternoon Mad, have a great day

It's been a loooooong time since I woke up at 8. For decades I woke up at 4, lately I've been enjoying 6 and today it was 7:30. But since waking up, i've done greets, Bdays, judged a contest and took care of bills. I stand by my earlier statement that adulting is over-rated.

Sounds like a good trade off. I grew up with Tornadoes and learned to watch the sky and when to take cover. It's valuable experience but better if you don't have to deal with it. The day 911 called us and said there were tornados on the ground was bone chilling, but the sky was fine so I didn't worry. Later I found out an EF4 touched down 12 miles from here.

Lol. I don't have experience with siblings, but I hear wonderful stories.

My siblings are probably my best friends. But sometimes I wonder how we ever made it to adulthood without killing each other.

I'm sorry about your twin Bob. Sibs definitely play a big part in a person's life, for good or bad.

Older siblings are perfect for toughening up the younger ones

Or not

My little brother stuck about 6 of these in my backpack one time... View attachment 3048367

Nightmare inducing!!

My little sister was always terrified of turtles. So naturally when a friend was staying over with me, we had to dangle a ceramic one right in front of her eyes while she was sleeping. And then gently wake her up.

The whole house was awake by the time she finished screaming. Wow, did we get in trouble.

As you should have

I've had the joy of enjoying Sue's siblings. It was different but also fun. The nieces & nephews are also a joy.

But how did they get grandkids???????? I must be old!

As @sourland always says, "Friends are the family you make for yourself."

I've done that a lot throughout my life. I have friends that I think of as siblings.

Are those all Cardinals? I know the red is a male.

No. Just one cardinal in the pic. the others are sparrows.

That's something I miss the most, we don't have Cardinals in Colorado. Or Mockingbirds. Or lightning bugs.
But I don't have tornadoes either, so I'm good.

We have all of the above, but the lightning bugs aren't as prolific as they were when we were kids. Dh says it's because too many chemicals have been in use for too long.

I didn’t think they were but I’ve been wrong before
