Wow, thirteen years has past...reading on...Oh, b/c its over!
I wish I could write Bobby and Tara the way you do, Mione. You bring not only their passion but their humor alive so well. And all built around a song and those two little words, Rainy Sunday.
I loved the descriptions of each of their children and their interruptions at the door. Typical children. And James, asking if he could pick the lock the way daddy showed him and when the answer was no if he could pick it the way Aunt Tully showed him, was terrific.
So like a child to try and get around the answer he knows is coming and have an alternate question to follow it up! Being Bobby's son, though, I'm surprised he asked; but, he has had 8 years to be indoctrinated.
You have a wonderful gift, Mione. Thanks for sharing it with us.
