Very nice. My internal image machine was well fed! "Fish mouth,""forehead bellows," "cheeks like a spaniel," "short squat smelling machine..." Mom's wine evaluations were hilarious. I loved the phrase, "she was rudely interrupted by herself." You are a funny writer! Thank you.

What a GREAT story! So well written. The expressions! There were three typos I found, and you might want to fix them. (Nothing serious, mind you.) But this was such a pleasure to read. You have a great voice. I was drawn into the characters of both women. Enjoyable!
