Thank goodness for Bobbie or who knows how long your and your mother may have wondered and worried about what happened to your sister. Sounds like your sister is a bit on the wild side when it comes to men. That sounds risky to me, but to each their own. Love your narrative voice as you tell the story.

Thanks, w.j. Barb confided in my mother that it scared her that she loved sex so much!
Comment from EMB
Yeah. I always suspected as much from those who claim chastity in the name of so and so. Haha! I'd say she was bragging with a hint of a complaint about the sweating. :) An interesting piece, Shari.

Wow! How nice to hear from you again. Hope you'll start posting again. I agree that she was both bragging and added the complaint to make her appear humble. LOL

Goodness. That is not very high up on the warmth scale! The ice cubes in my fridge were shuddering... Now I'm all caught up and waiting. :) I can't imagine what your mom had as a response to that. "Well, how nice. He sounds so ... thoughtful." mikey

LOL. Someone in the family, probably my aunt, nicknamed my sister The Ice Queen, but hey, she found plenty of lovers.

Good job with your descriptive details about Barbara's life after she distanced herself from her family. Poor Bobby got caught in the middle. Good to know your mom didnt make him choose sides.

She sure would have liked to, I'm betting.

"When Blood Collides, Part 7" This was a very interesting piece of news and I'm richer for the read. Funny how people always want to control, or make other people do what they want them to do. Well done.

You are most welcome, Shari.
Comment from Cat of Letters
Excellent.
One small correction ' he sweated so much.'
I love the detail of the guilt soaked sheets.
Best wishes, Alison

I love that you caught the reference to guilt. I added the -ed.
Comment from judiverse
Barb was really serious about cutting you out of her life. It was a bad situation for Bobby to be caught in between. It was nice that he kept in touch with you and your mother, even though Barb didn't want him to. Sounds like he kept you as well informed as he could. Interesting about the Jesuit. She must have had strange taste. Great ending of this chapter with the phone call from her. judi

Without a doubt this addition is just as interesting as your prior memoirs . Oh, how these events fall in line with true to life situations that bring back memories. Once again, I thank you so much for sharing.

I guess we all have black sheep in our family. LOL Thanks for the wonderful review and stars.
Comment from Sasha
You are doing a marvelous job with this. The inner turmoil of families is always great subject matter for books since most of us can relate to them. I am enjoying this very much and look forward to the next post.

Thanks,sasha. I decided to put it all together in one work. Sent a PM on it.
Comment from mshirachot
Spitfire! Wow! That Barbara is something else. Pretty sad to think of someone that would be so self-absorbed. But then, I've known a few people like that - years ago.
Nice art choice. Goes along well with the stinky sheets.
This line: "Settling for sheets soaked with guilt that must have smelled." might work a little better if it were split into two separate sentences OR if you used elipses to separate the guilt from the smell.
Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Marsha

Thanks, Marsha. The line sounds awkward to me too and I did split it up.
