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.
bravo aux trois soeurs, beaucoup d'humour ;o))
ReplyDeletethis must have been a happy household from day one.
ReplyDeletecute shirts, glad they took 60 with humor and not depression.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDelete60's getting younger and younger!
ReplyDeleteSweet sisters, love the freedom art pieces below, especially the first and third ones.
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see sisters having so much fuand they definitely have the right attitude to birthdays, celebrate....!!
ReplyDeleteHa! I love those shirts!
ReplyDeleteSpecial! No need to have a party to have fun... these ladies have each other and they make their own rules!
ReplyDeleteGood for them!
What great fun! I wonder if I could get my sisters to wear shirts like these.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is proof that 60 is a beautiful age!
ReplyDeleteVery fun and light hearted t-shirts! I bet those ladies have fun together!
ReplyDeleteCall me old-fashioned but I miss your header photo with the Northwest Airlines plane - a view from our past!
Phew - finally some pleasant weather!
Funny and unusual triple portrait!
ReplyDeleteHow cute!!!
ReplyDeleteIn 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.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun set of siblings. Great T's.
ReplyDeleteGIrls just want to have fun and I"m glad they did!
