Kelly, I am so, so pleased that you enjoyed this. Writing for you, I had that extra feeling of wanting to make it right--and for you. So, your comment made me so happy. Hooray that you liked Augusta in this. She was fun to have in my head--although I may have alienated a coworker or two channeling her. I'm so pleased that the mood work. I didn't want to write you something too heavy, but I figure that something in this time frame, with these characters cannot be too light, either. I am completely tickled with the approval of Aunt Ernestine. I enjoyed writing her and imagining her in her kitchen. I so enjoyed reading back the lines that you pulled out. Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful comment. ♥
