Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday.

Cheryl Wyatt and Ane Mulligan tagged me again for this meme. So here goes to see if I can list five more unusual things about me (I'm really not that strange, seriously).

5) I love sparking wine, but I have never tasted real champagne from Champagne, France.
Your turn! Post your meme or the link to your blog in the comments section!
