Did anyone out there besides me not know that May 2 is “Brothers and Sisters Day?”  A day to be thankful for our siblings.  To send e-cards to them.  To call on the phone.

It would be easy to go all cynical and call it a marketing ploy by card companies.  Maybe so.  But I don’t object to being called to be mindful of the value of my siblings in my life.

I’m thinking it would be fun to call my sibs and ask them each to tell the funniest story they can think of about our grandparents.  They’ve been gone for many years and we all loved them dearly and it strikes me that sharing those fun memories would be a great way to honor one of the things only brothers and sisters can share.

Plus, maybe they’ll help me remember some good stuff I can use in a book!
