A Sense of Doubt blog post #3461 - Happy Birthday to My Sister!!
Happy Birthday to my sister!! Today is her birthday. I won't tell you all how old she is as she might not want me to, but since I have dates on some of the photos below from the 1970s, you all can get a sense.
I decided to reprint all the Lori birthday posts, but apparently I have not done one every year.
I have listed all the posts below. Seems I did the first one in 2017, which was the year when we had our last lunch before I moved out west from Michigan. Then after one in 2018, I skipped 2019-2021, and then I have had posts the last two years in a row.
VARIOUS YEARS
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #758 - Lunch with Lori
Hi Mom,
Lori and I have been meeting frequently for lunch. I am rally going to miss my sister. It's been a wonderful thing to lunch with here more often, and we have grown close again, like we always were when we were kids.
We're been through so much together because of you, Mom, but also just in living our family life. It's been great.
Today is our last schedule lunch, though we may try to do another before I leave on August 20th.
We're meeting for her birthday dinner next week.
Aren't these beautiful pictures?
So, things are proceeding.
I have hired a hand, who will do a lot of lifting for me Saturday and Monday in taking books to Goshen and stuff to Dad's. Expect blog posts to illustrate these things.
I have an answer about packing records, too, so I am pleased.
Here's some recent photos: a good sign and a fortune that seemed apt and meaningful.
Stacks of comics. I had to stare at them for days until I decided to keep them, for now, though some will go to Dad's.
Then pictures of the second big load that went to Fanfare. I am building quite the credit.
Lori and I had a nice lunch.
We miss you, Mom.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #1634 - Happy Birthday to my sister Lori
I am a couple of days late posting something in honor of my sister's birthday. It's a milestone birthday, but I won't divulge the number. Instead I am going to post links to the last two tributes for her birthday from 2018 and 2017.
Lori starts a new job Monday, and I couldn't be more proud of her.
The picture above shows how wonderful our childhood vacations were. Lori just spent an extended weekend in our preferred childhood vacation spots: Traverse City and Mackinac Island.
I am so happy for her.
I am keeping this short. Links to the last two birthday posts with a little text reposted here. And then a couple more photos.
Happy Birthday Lori!!
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1106 - 2018 - My sister's birthday - Throwback Thursday for 1808.09
Lori's birthday today, but I am not at liberty to divulge the number because I checked, and she does not have the age posted on her Facebook page. But I can share that I am in Michigan to celebrate, and since I am finishing this entry tomorrow, I can already report that we had a great meal at Salt of the Earth in Fennville, which is probably the one area restaurant that Liesel and I did not make it to before we moved out west.
It was a GREAT dinner, right up there on par with any dinner I have had out west and just about one of the best I have ever experienced in west Michigan, though I do qualify as "one of the best."
Pictures exist, and I will add them when I get them from the source.
This one's mostly a reprint of last year's post devoted my sister, Lori Marie's, birthday.
Events like this make me miss you even more, Mom. You would have loved that restaurant and that dinner.
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #764 - My Sister Lori's Birthday - 2017
I love my sister very much.
Good choice in having her, Mom!
Lori and I are very close and have regular lunches, which will not be something we can continue with me moving out west.
Fun fact: Lori was born at 10:19 p.m. ( I think that's right... I may be a few minutes off). At that precise time, on most of her childhood birthday, she would scream out the door at the top of her lungs how old she was at the precise moment of her birth. We actually would do a count down sometimes.
Here's Lori trying to scream louder than the sound of the motor. I love this photo.

I am back out west now; I flew home this morning, Friday, which is tomorrow from this blog's perspective.
I have essentially been awake since 1:30 a.m. my time and it's 8:40 p.m. Pacific right now.
I am tired.
Enjoy this tribute to my sister, and Happy Birthday Lori.

No, Lori is not scared to death in the pic below, she is showing her missing tooth.
This one below I remember as Lori is trying to put scream the motor on the boat we're riding on.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
