Hello Folks,
Some of you may have read previous blogs about Kris, but for those who haven't .......
Kristin is my favorite sister, well, my only sister, and my younger sister. Kristin was born with cerebral palsy and some physical disabilities. Even though she has these handicaps to deal with every day, she is probably the happiest person I know.
Kristin is always saying funny phrases. She picks most of these up from watching her favorite TV shows. Typically these shows are found on the station TV Land.
Another interesting characteristic about Kristin is that she has a memory like a steel trap and is EXTREMELY observant. To look at her, you wouldn't think or perceive these qualities, but once you start to spend time with her, you quickly notice how observant she is.
As an example, about this time every year, my sister and my mom drive from Kentucky down to Bonita Springs, Florida. A couple years back, as they were on I-75 in the Sarasota area, my mom mentioned that she & Kristin should make a trip back up to the area to visit the Mote Aquarium. Mom then mentioned that she will need to check which exit they would need to get off at to visit the Aquarium and without missing a beat, Kristin said it was exit 221. ..... Mom being a bit shocked asked her how she new that and Kristin said she wasn't sure .... She just knew.
Just this past month, my mom was having a conversation with our father and they were discussing another family member who, well ... lets say .... Isn't well liked by the family. Anyway, my mom said that this relative was the "B" word. (Trying not to use the word in front of my sister) When Kristin piped up ... "you mean Bitch"?
Earlier today, my mom and sister were going to a large Flea Market which we have in Fort Myers. As one heads down the road toward the Flea Market, you pass the county jail. Well, As they were going past the jail my mom asks Kristin ..'Do you know what that is?" In which case my sister replies "that's the Big House!" Kristin also has the habit of referring to the police and "the fuzz" when ever she sees a police officer.
As I mentioned, Kristin can be a lot of fun. One of her favorite games is to play Putt Putt Golf (Miniature Golf) and dang if she ain't the luckiest person who plays. Now, here is a 38 year old girl who someone has to hold her up when she puts because she can't keep her balance well and she scores more Holes-in-One than anyone I've ever met. AND she like rubbing it in ...... And if she looses, she is a sore looser.
One last item on Kristin. Every year come mid June to early July, my sister will mail me her Christmas List. She wants to make sure that I have plenty of time to buy her the gifts. On Christmas night, she ALWAYS goes to bed early in preparation for Santa to visit during the night.
Here are a couple previous blogs on Kristin....
