My Sister Has A Yard Sign In Front Of Her House.

A horse rider I am acquainted with was coming back from riding horses at Wilson's Creek Battlefield this morning when she saw a yard sign in right-of-way in front of my sister's house. She called me with his cell phone and told me I wasn't going to believe what she just saw.

I halfway expected it. Since my mother passed away last March, two of my sisters have stymied every attempt by the other eight children to settle Mom's estate and get on with our lives. It has not been easy.

You all know that old saying, blood is thicker than water? Well, there's a deeper level to that saying, money is thicker than blood.

Eight of the ten of us siblings communicate frequently, mainly via email. The other two siblings have refused our emails, phone calls and accept only registered letters and have demanded that any attempt to communicate with them be done through their attorney.

It is sad for us. I know Mom would be sad too. Dad wouldn't have tolerated it. He never tolerated this type of behavior, especially from his children.

Anyhow, I told my friend that I was not surprised to see the sign in front of her house. I felt it was a pretty good indicator of her state of mind and her opinion her brothers and sisters.

I was originially going to title this post, "Mom would kick her out of the will if she saw this sign" when I realized she already had. Oh, and that sign and that trailer for sale up there, they are on the right-of-way
