Karen's Memories with Lisa Ann

Some of my fondest memories with Lisa, just warning you I will jump all over the place as I remember, forgive me as I'm not the best writer.

I remember growing up with Lisa you didn't want to make her mad because when she hit you, she hurt you. Lisa is very strong and was not afraid to hit you as hard as she could, but that didn't stop good old Karen who probably was the worst in aging Lisa on. We fought good, one time I was in the basement we had a space heater, well somehow I made Lisa back up and kept backing up until she sat on the heater and ended up with 3rd degree burns on her legs. She was even tough then I don't remember her complain about how bad that must of hurt.

I also remember when we took care of Mom on Tuesday's Dad would go to his auction sale and Lisa, Karla and I went to Miller Park and have a little picnic and eat our Avantis or we would stay home and I would bring home Lasagna and Tortellini from Beningo's, since I'm on a roll with eating, when mom drove, Lisa and Mom for lunch everyday would go to Kipp's and have the same thing, bean soup, corn muffin and cheesecake.

I don't remember the year I'm thinking it was back in 94 give or take 5 years, but Lisa and I took a little trip to Bocca Raton, Fl we went on a air boat ride walked the beach, I do remember when we were on the beach Lisa had a seizure so we didn't stay to long. We went to a park I think it was called Red Reef Park we had a picnic or we thought we would until we had a couple little visitors called Squirrels, they would not leave us alone we had food that they wanted or food Lisa would yell at them to get away we ended up leaving and eating at the hotel. Lisa to this day says she hates squirrels. On the way home I remember I drove home without stopping that would 1255 Miles I googled it, when I got tired I would stop off the shoulder and take a cat nap. Lisa would nap with me then finally we made it to Illinois and I said to Lisa as she said nothing half the way home. I told her she could go to sleep, you don't have to keep me up she goes good and went right to sleep. So in her mind just her staying up with me not saying a word was enough to keep me going. I thought that was so cute.

I also remember for about 2 years or even longer she would call me every night and tell me that Wheel of Fortune was on.

I remember I always fought with Lisa when was little, I guess it was because I was the baby, it was until I got older I appreciated her, when Mom died I knew she needed me even more and that is when I stared taking care of her like my Mom would of wanted me to. She means the world to me and cant imagine what life would be with out Lisa.

A few little quotes she always tells me

I just wanted to tell you
That's good thinking
I just wanted to tell you
Well your my sister
I just wanted to tell you
You hit him for me
I just wanted to tell you
Guys are wierd
OH did I say, I just wanted to tell you

It's about midnight, I'm going to get my cot ready to get some sleep myself I sure hope I didnt bore you to much.
