A Celebration of Sisters

The McFarland Girls:
Sandra, Gayle, Mom, Julia & Pamela



When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us? ~ Pam Brown

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers. ~ Pam Brown

If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child. ~ Linda Sunshine

Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago - the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider.... It doesn't seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we've traveled. ~ Jane Mersky Leder

A sister shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams. ~ Author Unknown


The Boppenmeyer Girls: Barbara & Peggy

Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk. ~ Susan Scarf Merrell

A sister smiles when one tells one's stories - for she knows where the decoration has been added. ~ Chris Montaigne

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. ~ Clara Ortega
