Fries that Bind

Yesterday was sister’s birthday.  We have been hanging out together for over five decades.  As kids, we had many differences that we didn’t always appreciate in one another.   We have been on a journey down our own paths together and separately.  As adults, the differences we have in our opinions and taste have disappeared.  The similarities are many,      Some sisters drift apart over time.  This is not the case with my sister.  We are the best of friends and the biggest cheerleader of each other.

One of the things that we both cherish and enjoy together is hot and salty fries.   No matter what is going on, there is nothing that can get in the way of  an order of fries.  I don’t know who it was, but whoever introduced “bottomless” baskets of fries was a genius.  Sometimes we get a puzzled look from the waitress.  We can drain a whole bottle of Heinz in one sitting.  Perhaps that is not the norm., who knew?  I count myself  lucky to have such a strong, loving and supportive sister.  We’re close in proximity and in heart.  You might say that we are like ketchup and bottomless fries.
