They are both good cooks, so when they asked how I wanted to celebrate, I said "At home, and the three of you should cook dinner." It was lovely, and very relaxed, especially since the dishes/dishwasher duty was also off the table for me for a change.

Can't wait to read the book. Remembering: I bought my first antique clock, a steeple clock, at an antique store in the Berkshires! <br /><br />It will come as a surprise to no one that I celebrate with food. Either cooking something I love (hmmmm.... shall I make a lobster bisque or grilled leg of lamb with egg lemon sauce or...) or I go out and order EXACTLY what I want without looking at the prices. I have a second glass of wine, maybe a glass of chilled moscato with dessert, and make my husband drive home.Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-91709649338738434032015-10-07T07:29:10.306-04:002015-10-07T07:29:10.306-04:00Congratulations Julie!

For the record, champagne ages well! The Berkshires, a cat, and a clock maker. Definitely a not to be missed book. Sounds like you and Ruth have a great relationship--and one that will lead to many more collaborations. A writer I know once told me that she got through Hurricane Andrew by answering the question, "what would Brett do now?" Brett was her main character in her newly released series, the writer survived that awful night unscathed. Trust your characters.Kaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07758348842858993203noreply@blogger.com
