The Middle Sisters

Two Sisters, Afton and Mitzi, are the middle of six children, middle-aged, sandwiched between aging parents, adult children and grandchildren. Sisters are taking the time to accept the laugh lines from their collective life experiences: marriage, parenthood, divorce, widowhood, careers, family, friends, and a little bit of sibling rivalry. Join us to laughing at life and finding happiness somewhere in the middle.
