Suburban Princess

My cousin Joanne and I were born exactly one week apart. She and I were inseperable as kids, until her family moved to another province when we were five. She was always my favourite cousin, and it was so exciting when they came to visit, or when we went to their house. She was even the one who taught me how to wear a bra!

Anyway, over the years we lost touch, although I knew it wasn't forever. Then about two years ago I had to go to Calgary on a business trip and decided to look her up. She met me for a few drinks at a pub near my hotel, and we sat there chatting and catching up for nearly six hours! It was a great night, and I literally went to bed giddy! And we've managed to keep in touch ever since.

And today is her birthday! Happy birthday Jo! I love you lots!


Here we are as babies - aren't we adorable?




Circa 1977 - we even dressed the same!


Seriously, I'm not kidding!


At my fifth birthday party - *ahem* a week after hers!
