When my twin daughters, Lindi and Libby were 11, they were local beauty queens, which required appearances in parades and showcases.  This was the only time I made them dress alike.  One day they were in a Christmas parade and were dressed in their matching queenly attire.  Afterwards we decided to take my mother to the mall.  When we got to the mall we separated with Lindi going with Mom and Libbi going with me.  When it was time to leave I asked Libbi to go look for Mom and Lindi.  She scurried back after about 10 minutes and I asked her if she found them.  She replied ‘No’ she had not found them and said that she was more embarrassed than she had ever been before.  I asked her to explain and she said that she had looked in a couple of stores and then remembered that Lindi had said she wanted Pizza.  She went to the entrance of the pizza parlor and spied Lindi at the back.  She waved & Lindi waved back.  She motioned for Lindi to come out and Lindi motioned back.  It was at that point that she realized that the pizza parlor had a mirror covering the wall in the back and she had been looking at herself!

This picture was taken when my twin sister, Karen, and I vacationed in Kure Beach, NC with Karen’s 15 year old twin daughters, Jessie and Jennie.  The four of us enjoyed it so much we are now planning our next vacation together!

Our family has proven that twins don’t always skip a generation, like most people think.  My grandmother had twins, my mother had twins and my twin sister had twins.  I also had two children, but not twins.  Think one of the teenage twins in this picture will be having twins too???  We’ve warned them both!!!

I’m thankful to be a twin.  Twins are indeed “Special”!  - Sharon Ashmore
