Kriston,

That makes perfect sense. I explained your response to DD, and I think she feels better about the "dead parent syndrome".


Taminy,

I ordered the Betsy Tacy books from the library (all except the first one), and we're looking forward to getting them. I had a hard time trying to find the order of the series, so I just ordered "Over the Hill", "Downtown", and the one with "Tib" or something like that.
