Three sisters



On a short day trip from St. Paul to Duluth to see the Three Tall Ships, I ran into these three sisters.  When we met on a path that skirts the harbor, I asked if their bright pink shirts were the traditional breast cancer shirts.  Nope, the three of them were celebrating Maggie, the youngest sister's  60th birthday.  They turned around so that I could see and photograph their birth ranks.  Top Photo: Penny on the far left is from the Twin Cities, Sue hails from the Chicago area,  and Maggie is from Colorado but works in Singapore.  The sisters get together several times a year, and from what I could observe, they have a grand time together.

  4. I will soon be having my 60th birthday. I will not be wearing a pink t-shirt with lettering designed for the occasion. I will not be wearing pink t-shirt without lettering.

  7. I had several reactions to this post: One is that it is delightful to see three siblings who obviously like one another and enjoy one another's company; secondly, your photos are excellent and creative; and the 3rd reaction had a nostalgic component...I spent several years in Duluth as a kid and loved to go down to the waterfront by the bridge and look for "sanded" glass...

  8. I don't have an actual sister although I do have some great close female friends. However, the poignant feeling I got when I read the backs of those shirts and realized their ties just about overwhelmed me. Thanks for this wonderful post.

  16. In my family, the idea of persuading two people to wear something similar is close to impossible. Three would be zero. I kind of envy their closeness and sense of fun.
