Glad to hear your brother is on the mend. Your cards look great. I'll be interested to hear what you think of the Goldfinch opinions of those I have spoken to who read it seem to be 50/50 split between those who loved it and those who really didn't like it at all! I was in the latter category and my daughter in the former.
