growing up with a big brother has always been a blessing. he is constantly coming to my rescue. most of the time he is solving my handyman issues or car issues. but on a beautiful sunday last week he instructed me on the ins and outs of a successful rope swing. as the picture indicates he sailed to the tops of the mountains. i was hesitant, but hopeful i could follow once again in his fantastic footsteps. i managed to stuff the fear into my belly, put the river in my eyes, forced the hippo to hug me and i too sailed, smiled and splashed.
