My baby sister @andysantics48 has joined Steemit! Please give her a warm welcome.

Today I was going to tell you about how I was going to treat myself for the food reactions I discovered after my water fast.

But it was hot as anything here today, and late in the afternoon, I went downstairs, where it’s slightly cooler, to read and relax for a bit. Next thing I knew I was asleep! So I ended up with no time to write all about allergy treatments.

And then I heard from my sister that her Steemit account had come through, so instead I’m going to tell you a little about us.

I am the oldest of four children and was nearly 11 when my baby sister was born. So naturally, she was my baby and I carried her around with me, took her for walks in her pram, changed her if mum was out and fed her.

Isn’t she cute? I could share lots of cute pics from when she was young but she might never forgive me, so this one will do.

We shared a bedroom for several years when she was young. I remember that often in the night, she would want to get into my bed. She would then happily drift off to sleep, and then I’d be wide awake and squished in a corner! But I could never say no.

In later years, we flatted together when she first left school and had lots of fun going clubbing together and having parties with our flatmates.

As she says in her post, she has spent most of her life in farming areas, far away from me. But we are still close and can talk for hours on the phone.

All these decades later, I’m nearly 60 and my baby sister is a grandmother of two, and she’s still the cute one. This is a terrible photo of me, but I think she looks lovely.

Please pop on over to her first post at @andysantics48/hi-steemit-i-finally-got-here and give her a warm Steemit welcome. She will be blogging about farming and homesteading, gardening and preserving, her weight loss journey, what it’s been like living as a single woman in a farming community, and any other antics that have amused her.

Thanks for reading
