\"Jolene<\/a><\/p>\n

10. While watching a\u00a0 Mad Men wannabe show, we like to critique the clothing and talk about elementary teachers who dressed like that.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0 She and her husband recommend the best books, authors, and recipes.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0 She checks the routes mapped out by her country sister, who has to drive around the big city, and recommends better ones.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0 She scopes out the best shoe store in the metro area and suggests a shopping trip.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0 She provides excellent and honest feedback about the shoes and clothes tried on.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 We talk about our work, and then she emails ideas and websites related to what we discussed.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 She puts life in perspective by reminding me that our kids need time to figure grown up things like buying houses and finding jobs just like we did.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 We react the same way to certain hot button issues, and we both know why.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 Though I was a fussy baby who upset her only child world, she still loves me.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 We share memories of early childhood that no one else has. The older we get, the more that means. I love you, Sis. Thanks for a wonderful visit!<\/p>\n
