I love my sister, Tawna, so very much and for a lot of reasons. But, probably one of the best reasons is her uncanny ability to make me laugh!! A couple of weeks ago, during our canning fiasco, she was looking in the spice cupboard for cloves (to make the syrup for the pie apples). The spice cupboard is in the "mud room" (the room between the garage and the rest of the house, where one takes their shoes off before entering into the main house). So she is in the mud room looking for cloves and I hear her say this... (you have to imagine tar TAR being said like 2 words)
"Oh, you have tar-TAR!! (at this point I start laughing uncontrollably) I should borrow this tar-TAR from you so I can make snickerdoodles! (as my laughter becomes even more uncontrollable, she continues) ...Nathan loves snickerdoodles, they are his favorite cookies and about twice a year I think, 'Oh I should be a nice wife and make Nathan some snickerdoodles', (at this point my laughter is becoming controllable)... she continues... so I open up my cook book and realize that I never make them because I have no cream of tar-TAR. (hearing it again, makes my somewhat controllable laughter, turn again into uncontrollable laughter)... she continues... Blasted cream of tar-TAR!! (now, I am absolutely in pain from laughing so hard) ... Who has cream of tar-TAR in their cupboard???"
She could hear me laughing (I am pretty sure she thought that I was having a mental break down from all of the canning and the late hour). But when she rounded the corner, tar-TAR in hand, I told her that from then on I would be calling her the "Queen of tar-TAR"!!!! I then told her it was cream of tartar, you know like tartar sauce. She started laughing and we laughed off and on about it for the rest of the night!!! It was a great time and I love that I have at least one thing I can tease my amazing sister about. She is such a dang superwoman, a lot of times I just think there's no way I could hold a candle to her. But at least I know it's called cream of TARTAR!!!! lol!!!

She is so funny sometimes. I love that she is a good sport when we tease her about her word pronunciation sometimes. We all do it, she just happens to be in the right place at the right time for us give her a hard time. Nana's was in the parking lot waiting for me once and upon my return to the car asked me, “What is the up's store?” I said, “You mean the UPS (as in the package delivery) store?” We laughed all the way home, and every time we thought of it since. A good laugh is just something you gotta do now and then.
