    We need all the help we can get with positive thinking about sibling relations. Who hasn’t wanted to hang upside-down from a tree branch?

    Hanging by her feet; here the H&S contingent would be complaining. I can only admire the act.

    I'd like to read the book. The stamp is very nice to play with it on the envelope...
