The Family Diary

Probably for our last time, we were sitting on the edge of the pool where we learned to swim. My twin sisters and I grew up in this house. We have rich memories which we were sharing as we sipped Arnold Palmers, Mom's favorite drink, in memory of her. She passed away suddenly and way too young. Our mood is solemn.

The three of us, Micki, Judi and I lazily kicking our feet in the water. (Micki and Judi, mom had a thing for names that end in i).

Suddenly there is knocking at the side gate, we hear, "Hey it's your favorite aunt, let me in."

Judi jumps up and opens the gate for Aunt Peg. As usual she enters talking a mile a minute.

"How's the water?' Watcha drinking? Fix me a double, did you sell it yet? I need a suit."

Peg is Mom's fraternal twin.

I say, "Whoa there, Auntie. Give me a minute and I'll have you a drink that'll calm you down."

She follows me into the house.

As I open the fridge she says, "I've got to get in the pool. Can I use one of her suits?"

"Sure, you know she'd want you to have anything of hers that you want. Help yourself."

She joins us at the pool, sporting one of Mom's bikinis. She wears it well. Mom and the girls are 5'4", she is an inch taller. Likes to say she's a tall petite. Her thighs and calves are a little thicker than Mom's, but very shapely. Her boobs slightly overfill the top, nice firm butt. All in all, a pretty picture.

I hand her the drink, she takes a big gulp, smacks her lips, says, "Just the way she liked em, a sprig of mint and splash of tequila."

She slips into the water, drink in hand and stands in front of us.

Judi, "Auntie you're looking great. You've lost some weight and that's a new hairdo."

"Thanks for noticing. I joined a gym and sort of watch what I eat. Focusing on myself for a change. Yesterday you asked where Uncle Jim is. I didn't want to get into it then, but he and I split up. He moved in with some bimbo from work."

Micki, "Really? I'm sorry."

"Don't be. If he hadn't pulled the plug, I would have. It's been over for a long time. Now I feel free to be me. Enough about that. What have you decided to do with the house and cabin?"

Micki, "We decided to sell the house as is including furniture and all household goods. We each picked out a few mementos but none of us wanted to sort through everything. You need to take whatever you want. The realtor has just left."

She paused, teared up. "Soon the for-sale sign will be up."

Judi hugged her.

Peg swigged her drink, handed me the glass, said, "It's hard to cry when your head is underwater."

She grabbed the twins and pulled them into the water. Dunking both. Quickly the girls had her submerged. I jumped into the fray. We were all laughing, coughing, spitting water, splashing and dunking.

We ended up in a giggling group hug.

Peg asks me, "Where are the refills."

The solemn mood is broken. As always Peg sets the tone of any get together.

I set four glasses and a full pitcher onto the table on the deck, holler, "Come and get it."

The ladies hop out of the pool and take a seat. For some reason it tickled me hearing water dripping onto the floor. It sounded like someone was peeing.

I said, "I ordered pizza, it's on the way."

Peg, "Great, I'm famished, what are you going to do about the cabin? I have an idea."

Judi says, "Oh what a surprise our aunt has an idea. When has she not had an idea?"

We all laughed raised our glasses, "Here's to Aunties idea, whatever it is."

Peg started, "She left her half to you. I support whatever you want to do with it."

I interrupted, "Auntie it's our family's cabin. We'll not make any decision you're not in on. So far, we haven't even discussed it."

The cabin in question was originally built by our great grandfather as a small hunting and fishing camp. Over the years it's been added on and now stands on the side of a mountain overlooking a beautiful valley, with 4 bedrooms, and a huge loft. It's been the site of many family vacations, holiday celebrations, weddings etc.

"I appreciate that. It's been in the family forever and means a lot to me too. But listen to my idea. I suggest we fix it up a bit and list it on VRBO. It could be a money maker. Plus, we'd get some tax write offs and still be able to use it whenever we want. What do you think?"

Micki, "Sounds like it's got possibilities. I want us to keep it one way or the other. It has special memories."

Judi, "I want to keep it in the family. I'm not sure I want strangers living in it."

Me, "Sounds like we agree to keep it. I'm glad that's settled. The VRBO thing has possibilities, we just need to spend some time thinking about it and checking out the details."

The doorbell rings, our pizzas are here. We kicked around the idea as we ate. Micki fired up her iPad and made some quick searches. Judi made a list of pros and cons.

We were halfway through another pitcher as the sun went down. We agreed to move ahead with the VRBO thing. They appointed me to check the condition of the cabin and prepare it for rental.

I said, "Auntie I know you and Mom went up periodically to check on it and take care of any projects. I'll be happy to help."

Peg, "Actually it doesn't take two people, we just went together because it was more fun."

Micki, "We can all take turns."

With a plan in place, we headed back to the pool. Peg was the first one in, she cannonballed, popped up without her bikini top.

Judi picked up both pieces and laughed, "This part is done for good."

Peg says, "That's what happens when you squeeze c boobs into a b cup."

Micki says, "I'll get you another one."

Peg says, "Don't bother, now you've all seen my tatas. I'm fine topless."

I said, "And fine-looking tatas they are."

She tweaked her nipples, said, "They get perky with an audience."

I touched my bulge thought; they're not the only things getting perky.

The twins attacked, playing grab ass and grab tits. Quickly one of Pegs butt cheeks was exposed. Then Judi's bra was around her waist. Her tits looked like smaller versions of Pegs. Micki's back was to me, I pulled her bottom down, in a flash she spun around, pulled my trunks down. She was staring at my equipment as I dove for deeper water. I've been around them for 24 years, never thought of them sexually, in just a couple of minutes I'd seen their tits and butts. All of a sudden, they'd become sexy women.

Clothing mostly back in place, we swam a little, but generally just floated around and drank until bedtime. I kept checking out Peg's boobs and thinking about Judi's tits and Micki's cute ass.

The next morning, I called a realtor and arranged for an inspection of the cabin.

We spent the rest of the day getting the house ready for showing, packed up and all headed for the airport and our flights home.

A few days later I got the inspection report. There were some cosmetic things and a few concerns. The biggest of which were the fireplace and the electrical service panel. I arranged to meet a chimney sweep and electrician.

I took a vacation day and drove up. I contracted to have a new panel installed. The chimney sweep made his inspection.

He said, "Whelp, you are a lucky SOB. You got enough creosote in that chimney to burn half the mountain down. If'n you'd lit a fire, the last thing you'd heard would a been a big whoosh."

"So, what needs to be done."

"First thing is clean that shit outa there. Then repair the liner and replace the cap. I'm surprised you haven't had varmints in here cause the cap is mostly gone."

We agreed on a price, and I headed for the car to return home.

Just as I opened the door he shouted, "Hey mister. Wait up. I need to show you somthin."

We walked into the house, he stood in front of the fireplace, asked, "Notice anything unusual."

I looked at the mantel and up and down the stonework, "I don't see anything."

He pointed at a spot on the side just below the mantle.

He eased a large stone out, said, "You've got yerself a little hidey hole here? Didja know about it?"

I shook my head. He pulled the stone out. Inside I could see a brown object. I carefully pulled it out. It was a book with a lock on it, the cover said diary. Underneath were 3 hundred-dollar bills. Now I knew it was Mom's. She always distrusted credit cards, so she kept little stashes of cash everywhere. When she died, we found several caches of 3 big bills, in the freezer, in a plastic bag in the commode, stuck in miscellaneous books and in her panty drawer.

I stared at the book wondering what was inside.

He said, "I can pop that li'l lock for you."

I said, "No, I don' want to damage it."

I offered the bills to him, said, "I'd probably never would have found this. Thanks."

He said, "That's not necessary mister, I was just trying to help. Oh, I'll take one."

I drove to the airport with the diary in my shirt pocket. I was dying to see what's inside.

Micki handled the VRBO details. Soon we were listed and had a calendar of availability posted. We saved two weeks at Christmas and blocked out several dates for our use. The first reservation was received the week following the listing. Other reservations quickly followed. Shortly we had cash flow.

I called the girls to tell them what I'd found. No one could remember seeing a little key. We were all curious about what was inside but agreed not to break the lock. One evening I left work a little early and visited a locksmith. I showed him the diary and asked if he could open it.

He said, "I haven't seen one of these in ages. No telling how old it is. Give me a minute."

He returned with a metal Folgers coffee can. He dumped the contents on the counter, there were dozens of little keys. He began sorting through them, tried a couple then bingo he had the diary open.

He said, "I've started to throw these away several times. Thankfully I kept them."

"I'm thankful you kept them also. How much do I owe you?"

"No charge. Glad I could help."

I left a c note on the counter.

I called the girls. We agreed to wait to read it when we're all together at Christmas. I put the diary in my safe. I was constantly tempted to read it but held off.

It was snowing big flakes when I arrived at the cabin. Micki and Peg were already there. Inside I was welcomed with the aroma of fresh baked Christmas cookies. I had just taken in my last load of gifts and stuff when Judi pulled in. It was snowing hard while we unloaded her car. The fireplace was crackling without any whooshes.

We all pitched in and soon the house looked Christmassy. The property was full of mistletoe laden trees. I picked a nice bunch and hung it. We all took turns standing under it for smooches.

Dinner was good, afterwards we watched the sunset over the Currier and Ives snow covered landscape. Soon we were all in the hot tub with brandy snifters floating in the bubbling water. It was fun watching the girls tip toeing through the snow in their bikinis to get to the tub.

Peg says, "What a glorious day. Perfect hot tub weather. I'm so happy we're keeping the cabin. There's no place I'd rather be and no one I'd rather be with."

We all echoed her sentiments.

The flakes were still falling as I hopped back in the tub with the brandy bottle. I filled everyone's glass and scooched down to warm up.

Micki, "So far, the VRBO thing is going well. No damages and the housekeepers are very good. Plus, we have some money in the bank. Reservations are piling up for the spring."

We chatted and sipped for quite a while.

Judi asks, "When are we going to check out the diary? You did bring it didn't you?"

I said, "Yes. It and the key are in my room."

Micki said, "I'm hot and wrinkled. Let's head inside and take a look at it."

She stood up and put one foot down on the snow.

Quickly got back in, "I'll freeze my feet."

I stepped out said, "I'll carry you."

I picked her up in my arms. Judi jumped on my back. I shuffled through the snow. Peg opened the door the twins hopped off. We started toweling off with teeth chattering.

Peg said, "I can't feel my feet."

She sat on a chair. I rubbed her feet vigorously. Touching her, looking at her bare thighs and camel toe stirred my loins. I was massaging her calf when she rubbed her foot on my cheek. I kissed her toes. I was working on the other calf when the twins came out.

Micki, "Hey why didn't we get that treatment?"

I said, "You can be next."

Judi said, "Rain check."

They grabbed blankets and sat on the hearth.

I added a log to the fire, then changed clothes and brought the diary. We all huddled together on the sofa as I passed it around.

Micki said, "Well open it."

I took the chain from around my neck, made a drum roll sound and opened it to the first page. I'm sure we looked like a four headed person with everyone getting the first look. Everyone wanted to see it up close. There was some head bumping.

Judi said, "Read it out loud."

I started,

'Dear diary. My name is Ruth. I've never written to you before so not sure where to start. I'm writing because I want to be able to relive my experiences. Everything is fresh in my mind but I'm sure things will fade over time. What I want to tell you is I had my second orgasm today. My first was 3 weeks, 2 days and 3 hours ago. Not that I'm keeping track. I owe it all to my beautiful sister Ellen.'

Peg says, "Hey! That's my mother's handwriting. She's referring to my aunt Ellen."

Judi says, "Wow look at grandmas' penmanship, it's beautiful."

Peg, "That's ruler enforced Catholic school penmanship."

I flipped through a few pages, said, "There's no dates. I wonder when she wrote this."

Micki, "Read some more maybe we can figure it out. At least we know that grandma wrote it."

I continued to read,

She and I had been walking down by the lake. It started to pour. By the time we reached the cabin we were soaked to the skin. Inside we stripped off our wet clothes and headed for the bathroom. We grabbed towels and started to dry off.

Ellen says, "Sis let me dry you."

I was startled. She took my towel and wrapped it around my hair. Then used hers to wipe my face and shoulders. She moved in close, our breasts touching and proceeded to dry my back. I was uncomfortable but didn't want her to stop. She licked some water from my breasts. Then toweled my stomach. She knelt in front of me. I couldn't move. She toweled my legs then lightly wiped my crotch, dropped the towel.

With her hands on my butt, she leaned in and kissed my privates. I grabbed her head intending to push her away but instead pulled her closer. She continued the kissing then began lightly licking me. I thought I might pass out. My legs felt like jelly. As her tongue entered me, I began to tremble. She led me to the bed. I collapsed. I lay spread-eagled as she licked and sucked.

The shaking started in my legs, then my feet cramped, then my whole body spasmed. It felt like I was being electrocuted. I couldn't breathe; I wanted to scream but had no air. As I began to relax, I pulled her up and hugged her so tight I'm surprised I didn't break something. We laid together forever. As sisters we had often kissed but this time our mouths and tongues went after each other voraciously.'

Judi, "My god that was so hot."

Peg, "I would never have guessed that Mom and her, you know."

Micki, "I have no words."

Me, "I need a drink. Anyone else?"

Peg, "Make mine a double."

Everyone was moving around releasing nervous energy. Judi doing jumping jacks, Peg yoga stretches. Micki n I walking n drinking. Shortly we returned to the diary. I picked it up, turned the page and read,

'Ellen rolled to my side smiled and traced my lips with her fingers, said, "Pretty fun huh."

I grinned.

"Sis, I know what's going on in the back of your mind right now. When I began my extracurricular activity, I had the same thoughts you're having. I've been there done that. You're starting to have feelings of guilt, unfaithfulness, maybe shame. Before they overwhelm you, I want to ask you a question. Do you ever masturbate, play with yourself?"

I nodded yes.

"Why do you do it?'

I hesitated, "Because it feels good?"

"Right and it's fun. Doesn't hurt anyone. Doesn't reduce anyone else's fun. You don't feel compelled to confess it to your husband or the world. You just do it because it's fun and you deserve some personal fun in your life. Are you following me?"

I nodded.

"I love you, love your body and want us to enjoy each other, have fun for a long time. I hope you feel the same way but it's your call?"

I gave her a hug and we kissed. She got up to shower. I laid there for a long time. She was right. I was starting to feel guilty etc. I kept replaying her words in my head.

We spent the rest of the day fishing, doing little projects around the cabin. We chatted as we normally do, neither of us mentioned our encounter. In the morning, she had to leave early. We said our goodbyes.

As she got in her car she said, "Let me know what you decide."

I sat on the porch wrestling with that decision. I dozed off in the swing. I woke with a start. I laughed out loud. My decision was made.

I shouted "Yes. Yes. Why the heck not?"

Shortly I locked up and headed home.

So Dear Diary that was my first big O. Now that I've told you I'll be able to relive it from time to time. When I next write I'll tell you about today. You can probably guess my decision. Bye for now.'

I closed the book, laid it on the mantle, said, "It's late. I think that's enough for tonight."

Micki, "Yeah, I'm beat and a little tipsy. Goodnight you all."

Judi, "Well we know what her decision was. I can't wait to see what she does next."

Peg, "It's been a fun and interesting day. Goodnight."

It was a bright sunshiny morning. Peg and Judi fixed breakfast. Micki and I warmed up the snowmobiles. Nothing was said about the diary as we ate. Micki and I chose the Yamaha, Peg and Judi chose the Polaris. It was a great day. The snow was perfect for riding. We shared some peppermint schnapps at stops, refilled the gas once. I would guess we took a gazillion photos. We got back home at lunch time.

We ate heartily then opted for naps. Eventually we all ended up on the sofa ready for installment two. Peg wanted to read. She started,

'I arrived at the cabin early. I couldn't wait to see my sister. We talked several times since we last were together. I still held some reservations but was excited to see where things would go. She arrived late in the afternoon. I greeted her with hugs and a cold beer. We sat on the porch swing, caught up on family news.

As I finished my beer she said, "I don't want to be pushy, but I can't wait to taste you. Let's go get a shower."

We washed each other. Exchanged some not so sisterly kisses. I had seen her naked before but not this up close and personal.

At one point she asked. "Have you ever thought of shaving your cute bush?"

"Not really. I do like the way yours looks though."

"How about you let me shave you?"

I kinda shrugged.

"Great, I'll be right back."

She stepped out, dripping all over the floor. I focused on the way her butt cheeks moved as she walked.

With shaving cream and razor, she quickly had me bare.

Still kneeling she said, "Wallah! Behold thy pussy is naked. It's a beauty."

She kissed it and inserted her tongue. "God, I love how you taste. Do you ever taste yourself?"

"Not really."

She inserted a finger licked and sucked it.

Then stuck a couple of fingers inside rubbed them around, held them up to my face, said, "Try it."

I hesitated then sniffed them and closed my mouth over her fingers. When I opened my mouth, she took my hand and inserted a couple of my fingers inside me then lifted it up to my mouth. I sucked them.

"So, what do you think of that?"
