My sister, Meredith, has posted about our oldest sister, Lee, on her blog at
Whynot Pottery. That gives you about all the details you need about Lee's current situation and how Meredith and I both feel about it. Meredith has done a very brave thing posting pictures of Lee because she has ALWAYS hated having her picture taken. I have no clue why. For me she was always the tall, gorgeous, elegant and talented older sister. Blonde and green eyed, she didn't take after the Henderson side of the family. We're all short with dark hair and eyes. With naturally curly hair (you should have seen her 'fro in high school), she has always had a flair for stylish dressing and has never exited any abode looking less than her very best. So, short, squat me who tends to the sweat pants and t-shirt style of dressing is still wondering why the heck she's not posing for every camera she sees. Anyhow, at the risk of getting on her bad side I thought I'd add a few more pictures. She lives in NC and I live in VA...she's gonna have to come get me if she wants to complain.
