It will be a late night tonight for Laurie and Geraldine. Laurie being the good dad he is, has agreed to pick Geraldine up from her Mumford and Son Concert in at the Entertainment Centre. Knowing how late these things can be it will be well after midnight before they are in bed.
It's funny what you do for your youngest!
Angela our oldest will often lament how "spoilt" Geraldine is compared to her upbringing.
But I don't see it that way. She had the advantage of having lots of sisters to play with and the company of many. There's eight and half years difference between her and Geraldine, and she has enjoyed being the big sister to Frances two years younger, Bernadette four years younger and Geraldine.
Having them all live at home with us still, has given me the joy of watching each of them grow into strong independent women!
They all think they are very different to each other, each has their own style in clothes, movies & TV they like, music they like. But then the lines cross over and you'll find someone who loves what you love. Take tonights concert for example. Frances had bought the concert tickets months and months ago, and when she booked her plane tickets for overseas she wondered what she would do with the concert tickets. But then Geraldine heard they were free, and jumped at the chance to go as she also loves that band!
Also Angela was going to New York alone, and then Bernadette heard and decided she would love to go also, so they organised the trip together. They got back a month ago reporting what a ball they had together. All their photos show two really happy girls hanging out together.

Angela loves shopping !

Sharing fun times together
