Thank you ladies. Yes Nicolette, my sister Judith is a very "cool" person according to the children, they all love her. She is a big fan of comics, especially Spiderman, so she gets along quite well with Evie. She's a joy to have around, and yes Jen I do confide in her.

I am fortunate to have two of my three sisters living in eastern Canada, though not on the island, and not terribly close, however I still get to see them fairly often. My third sister lives in New Zealand and I have not seen her in over 10 years. Though Jim and I keep planning to visit NZ one of these days!
