So we were sitting in mom's er room while she was getting her arm ultra-sounded, if that can be used as a verb. I was looking at Jill and having one of those sister moments that are so rare; just admiring the way her hair was swept up into her poneytail and being struck by how beautiful her profile is. And it hit like a bolt of lightning.
"Jill," I said. "You really missed your century."
"Whaaaat?"
"You really should have been born in the 1850s. You would have made a striking pioneer woman. Can't you see it? You'd look great in a bun and one of those floral dresses with petticoats. Shooting wild animals and keepin' peace on the prairie."
Somehow it sounded like a compliment in my head.........
