I recall the amazing display of bottles on the shelf and hoping for the day someone would decide it was time to open a bottle. Thanks for the memories.

It is vivid, vibrant, has a life of its own. I was there with you through every line of this wonderful piece and I'll read it again and again every time I want to visit. I'll also be the first to buy a hard cover copy when it is published. Thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800922811187644308noreply@blogger.com
