Book Excerpt
"Let's forget the snowstorm," Casey picked a jumbo tube of talcum powder. "What's that for?" Tammy squealed, excitement growing, anticipating the next wild game. "Ice skating!" Casey's eyes sparkled, bright as stars. With great diligence, the girls powdered the floor of the entire apartment. "Careful, Tam," Casey caught the younger girl as she slipped and fell yet again. Powdering the entire floor was back breaking work. Casey's balance was phenomenal. Not once did she fall. Tammy on the other hand couldn't take a few steps without landing on her now painful butt. How she envied her athletic big sister. Clang.
Author's Notes
True confession: My cousin and I powdered the floor so that we could play ice-skating. Decades later, my mother's blood pressure still shot up when I mentioned that incident, which she still remembers vividly.
