The Sister's I Remember the Most!

I have 5 sisters, but the sisters I remember the most in relation to my childhood are my two oldest sisters. Teresa (on my right) who is 5 years older and Rebecca (on my left) who is 3 years older than I.

I love this picture of us 3 girls sitting in our front room. I am holding 2 dolls. The small doll is mine, but I cannot remember her name, and the big doll is my sister Teresa's named Miss Beasley. We didn't have a lot of dolls, like girls now days have. And we didn't think anything about it. I think that was just how it was in those days. I know we had more toys than our parents, so it probably still seemed like a lot of toys to us!

I shared a room with my 2 older sisters, after our aunt Judy moved in. Rebecca and I shared a bunk bed. I slept on the bottom and Rebecca slept on the top of the bunk. Teresa's bed meet our bunk bed in the corner of the room, as if to make a letter L. I remember we use to tickle each other's backs at night. I would tickle Teresa's back or she would tickle mine and some how Rebecca and Teresa would work it out to tickle each others backs. They both must have gotten a sore arm from reaching either up or down! I think I had the better end of that deal, for sure!

My Mom's comments: The doll was Teresa's favorite. It was the only time she got excited over a present she got. She was a lot like dad, quiet over presents.
