Mulberry Margaritas

I bought this to hang PROMINENTLY in the kitchen of the condo I will be staying at with my sisters SOON!

In a few weeks I will be joining my sisters at our annual get-together. My two favorite (and only) sisters plus one interloping adopted 'sister'. I can hardly wait! The story of the interloper is one for a later date...yes Nila I am going to expose you as the sissy-wanna-be!

This is the first year the 'southern' sister will be traveling up north to be with the rest of us. The three of us 'northerners' usually make the trek south of the Mason Dixie line. We SHOULD have picked the month of January and had her come up here...just to keep in touch with her REAL roots of frozen tundra and wicked winds.

An entire week of laughing, quilting, eating, wines, movies, snacks, (a wee bit of Templeton rye whiskey), a margarita or two, quilt fabric and scrapbook store shopping....no husbands, no children, no pets! Just the four of us! BRING IT ON!

I'm ready for ya'll (Judy, Gail and Nila) so come on up anytime. I'm looking forward to starting our adventure here at my house before taking off up north. I have all three beds prepared with freshly laundered linens, a box of Palmer Candy Twin Bings, and our annual dose of roasted peanuts! Gail and Judy you get to sleep in 'full' beds...Nila you get the 'half'/single bed since you are only a 'half' sister.

Readers - please don't be horrified by my Nila slam  - she can take it! She knows that not only is she 'bling worthy' but that she is sisters' club worthy!
