“Bette -a ’97 Barolo?” Tina took the bottle from her in awe.
“I thought today would be a perfect day to break into it,” Bette replied. “That still leaves 11 bottles in the case that we brought back.”
“You haven’t had any since we were in Italy?”
“Not even a drop of this vintage,” Bette replied. “You interested?”
Tina was wide eyed at the prospect of sharing such a lovely bottle of wine with someone she desired so much.
“Absolutely!”
“Can I have some too Mom?” Angelica asked, as she spread the pad of paper out in front of her.
“Kids don’t like this stuff at all sweetheart,” Bette said. “I’ll make you something even better!”
Bette’s explanation and offer seemed to satisfy Angelica. She pulled out two crystal red wine glasses, one plastic clear glass for Angelica and a decanter before uncorking the wine. The bouquet filled the room immediately as it was opened. She poured the wine into the crystal vessel to let its nose develop for their enjoyment.
“That smells good Mom,” Angelica observed. “What do I get to have instead?”
Bette pulled grape juice from the refrigerator and a can of club soda from the cupboard.
“You get fizzy grape juice,” Bette said excitedly.
“That tickles my nose! I like that.”
Bette poured the juice followed by the soda into Angelica’s glass and set it beside her. She took a quick sip, gripping the glass with both hands and set it down again before Tina moved it further back on the table.
“You have a grape moustache,” Tina said with a smile.
“Are you going to have one too?” Angelica asked.
“Maybe, depends how full your Mom makes my glass,” Tina laughed.
“Not that full,” Bette said wryly.
“Ah Mom you’re no fun!” Angelica said. “You and Mommy need moustaches just like me.”
And that is how, on a Saturday night in West Hollywood, the three women of the Porter-Kennard family, all sat laughing around the kitchen table with purple moustaches, watching Angelica draw a picture of them as a family.
Chapter 12
They retreated from Angelica’s bedside, once they were sure she was fast asleep. Bette closed the door and turned to face Tina, who stood before her with a slight smile on her lips.

I love your stories, i read them more than once over the years.
But i don’t have time to reread this story, have to work very early in the morning , but i hope to read it when i am back tomorrow. I am looking forward to it!
You are a incredible writer and i do hope that you will find the time to write more! For now, thank you again for returning!
I was so happy to see your name again, I love your stories, off to read now,, but please continue to post more stories.,, please post soon.
Thanks for the shoutout! You’re an incredible writer with a natural style that pulls the reader in and makes one sorry when the chapter/story ends. Your writing demands rereading many times. It’s just that enjoyable. :-)
Brilliant, thanks so much for this. 62 Pages of pleasure.
Enjoy your stories which are good to read more than once.
Look forward to keeping on swimming :-)
I love this story, as I always enjoy reading your work!
Loved it, thanks so much. You are such a good writer!
Glad you are back,I love your stories.
I certainly remember this story and I love it more now. Thanks for updating the language so the profane language is present. It’s not that I am a complete potty mouth but let’s be realistic. Several of the stories that have transferred over have blanks or asterisks instead of the actual language. In my opinion, when this happens, the stories lose some of their authenticity and the characters lose their edge. I realize that it takes effort to fill in the blanks especially in longer stories. So thanks for doing that.
I find stories harder to read with the asterisks inserted…it’s like a jolt of reality interfering with my escapism. I had to get to the task of editing them out. I do plan to work on more stories; some easier than others because of where the files are. This story was first posted almost 10 (!) years ago, so the digital file was more challenging to retrieve. I’m not much for cursing, but the occasional well placed F-bomb can really get someone’s attention.
@JKS I can’t believe this story is almost 10 years old! It reads now as fresh as it did then. I really love your stories because they are so well written with realism, humor, sarcasm and authenticity. It also helps that for us ORs (Original Readers), it follows canon for the characters and storylines. :-)
WOW, what a fabulous surprise seeing you back here, JKS! So glad you found your way back here and have even edited! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help!
Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing again!
Thanks for your effort of editing and for giving us this wonderful story again.
It’s still as beautiful as I remember it from reading your story for the first time a few years ago.
Finally I managed to finish reading!
I was slowly reading this story.
And I confess that it was a great trip.
Pretty and wonderful.!
And to think that have passed since the 10 years, but
It remains very current.
The entire universe.
Don’t remember seeing this before and it was wonderful, took me back a ways. So great to have you back giving us something to read from you. Wish other former writers would come back to us, all of you are valued and missed greatly. So many of the stories are not completed, would be so nice if they were. Again welcome back, looking forward to more. Thanks.
Loved this! I love your writing. I’m so glad I’ve come across your stories, be it years later but better late than never lol
