What Color Is Your Binder?
What do three sisters, one in her fifties, one in her sixties and one in her seventies talk about when they get together? All the usual stuff - what new medications we're on, the price of hearing aid batteries, the silly things millennials do, and recently, organizing our "affairs." And after recognizing that we aren't getting any younger, our thoughts naturally turned to what we affectionately refer to as "the green binder", which is where our father had his estate organized right down to the last detail. Its been several years since the green binder has been opened, but its legacy lives on for each sister in a different way.

Saturdays With the Sisterhood
Once upon a time, there were three sisters affectionately known as.........."The Sisterhood." Theirs is a long standing relationship, having been acquainted with each other since the birth of Little Sis in 1965. It is a connection that is unbreakable and as you can see, on occasion they even dress alike. More importantly, they are united in a dedication to honor their late mother, Betty. Hence the creation of this blog and their Instagram account titled "Betty Would Love That," because they sincerely hope that Betty would in fact, love what they are doing.

The Eyes Have It
For a person my age, I think I’ve been pretty lucky in the health department. Low thyroid, high blood pressure, the odd memory lapse and an arthritic hip, but that’s about it. For the last few years though, my Optometrist has been telling me I’m going to need cataract surgery soon. Well, it seems soon has arrived. Easy Peasy? I was not really worried about having cataract surgery. I’d heard from friends and family that it was a quick, relatively painless, straight forward procedure and really nothing to lose sleep over. And the fact that I may not have to wear glasses afterwards was a huge bonus. I was excited…

Unsolicited Retirement Advice For Little Sis
Big and Middle Sis have both been retired for a number of years now and both have adjusted remarkably well to this dramatic, life changing event. In contrast, Little Sis appears destined to continue her employment for the immediate future. That hasn't stopped Big and Middle, however, from offering words of retirement wisdom on a regular basis, but it is our belief that to date, it has mostly gone unheeded. Convinced that Little is in need of a comprehensive and informed plan, well in advance of retirement, we offer the following invaluable advice, born of real life experience. Listen up Little.....we're talking to you.🤔

A New Perspective
So here we are in 2023. A year of possibilities stretched out in front of us. Naturally talk among the Sisterhood turned to what we thought the new year would bring and not surprisingly Big, Middle and Little Sis all had different ideas about how the year would shape up and what they plan to focus on.

What’s In Your Closet?
The other day I saw a piece about how "granny chic" style is all the rage right now. The article said it is defined as "donning vintage-style pieces like crochet sweaters and eyeglass chains." I suppose I should be happy that I am finally going to be on the cutting edge of style, being as how I am an actual grandma.

One Ringy Dingy, Two Ringy Dingy
The other day Biscuit came to me and requested a cell phone. She said now that she was 11 years old and almost a responsible teenager it was time, and besides all her friends had one. Not being a huge fan of cell phones for teenagers, this threw me for a loop, so I told her I would have to think about it and get back to her. I will admit though it was hard to ignore those puppy dog eyes.

Racing To See Anne
My husband is a runner and has been ever since I’ve known him. So it was no surprise when he proposed a “sport tourism” trip so that he could compete in a marathon. After all the staying at home we’ve done over the last two years it did feel like it was time to get back out there. And when I found out that the marathon he wanted to do was in Charlottetown Prince Edward Island, I was excited as it would give me a chance to see a part of the country I hadn’t seen before, and to visit my friend Anne, someone you may also know – Anne…

A Place For Everything?
In many ways, my husband and I personify that cliche that says opposites attract. And no where is that more evident than when it comes to "stuff". He is not bothered by bits and pieces of everything laying around and likes to keep mementos of events big and small. I, on the other hand, prefer clean, clear surfaces and tend to let go of things perhaps a little too easily.
