avocados

i recently discovered that my sister has a blog.

not my big sister - after resisting the idea of having a blog for several months, she now has two!
skip rip or play is a shared blog with friend and writer lindsey anthony; the two movie lovers review the latest and (sometimes) greatest films.
then 4321luckymamma is a personal blog, dedicated primarily to collecting quotes from any one of her four kids (apparently one of the 9 month old twins is already putting sounds together to make words, but i have yet to witness this linguistic miracle).

not the eldest of my little sisters - for several months i have been reading her personal blog la rubia liberal (the liberal blond). this blog is almost like a diary of her young adult life - reflections on herself, her environment, her feelings and thoughts on both. perhaps it's because of her age/this time period of her life, or perhaps it's because she's so damn mature - but her writing is like a map of her route into womanhood.

not my littlest of little sisters - she recently started a blog dedicated to "life on the beach". sort of like a collage, she arranges photos/videos/music into a montage of her own creation. this too serves almost as a time capsule. not only of our time but of hers - where she is in her life and what "strikes a chord" for her as a recently turned 12-year-old.

it was my middle-little sister, emi, whose photo blog i only very recently discovered. and although i knew she was a creative person and an excellent cook, i didn't know quite how talented she is. her photos are quirky,

with a great eye for angles/perspectives/voices.

and she loves avocados that's why it's the name of her blog. 

funny how much i have learned about people (even in my own family) through their blogs.
