the formula

Anyone that knows me knows that I love my sister. Really - we've got something unbreachable - and although we might not now be quite as similar in our body language, responses, laughs, etc.... as we sometimes were when we spent every day together, there's surely no coming between us.
Last week we had the oh so rare chance to spend a nice chunk of time together - just the two of us - to do whatever we want. So this is what we did: we walked to the park, played tennis for a while, walked home, went and got some really amazing takeout and then watched a movie.
This past week I have discovered, after all these years, that for Jo and I, there is a formula that will always, always result in the best time together. So here it is:
some kind of running around/exercise +
some form of good eating +
something great to watch =
perfect fun
And really that's the order that it's gotta be in.
Think about how many combinations you could come up with using that formula... countless!
And to think that there were times in our lives when that's all we had to do with our free time.
wow. =)
