“I had been sitting with my sister and her friend.”
Do you have more than one sister?
Because if you don’t, I’m going to have do further revision to my knowledge and impression of Elizabeth, trying to imagine her sitting in the mud at Woodstock, not that it would stretch the imagination. And, yes, I am from Michigan.

Hiya. Yes, I have three sisters. I was with the youngest of the three, Mimi. (I’m the youngest of six children.) Actually, picturing either Elizabeth or Susan at Woodstock isn’t that hard, come to think of it.
