When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?
Pam Brown
Image
A sister is the cure for swollen heads and ego trips. One may a star, a Chief Executive-famous and rich and beautiful. But one's sister has the family photo album. And a long, long memory. And a tendency to wink at one on Top Occasions.

A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.
Pam Brown

Integrity rings like fine glass. True, clear, and reassuring.

Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience.
Pam Brown
Image
For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.
Pam Brown

The first step to wisdom is to be sure one says and does what one believes.
Pam Brown
Image
Loss leaves us empty - but learn not to close your heart and mind in grief. Allow life to replenish you. When sorrow comes it seems impossible - but new joys wait to fill the void.
Pam Brown
Image
The work of a garden bears visible fruits-in a world where most of our labours seem suspiciously meaningless.
Pam Brown
Image
It's hard to visualize the toys you had fifty years ago - all save bear. He's as clear as if he were sitting on the desk in front of you...of course...he probably is.

Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, singers of songs.

Kittens are wide-eyed, soft and sweet. With needles in their jaws and feet.
