A Piece of Work
With Mother’s Day coming up, here’s a little mother-snippet from Tender Is The Bite, the next Chet and Bernie novel (July 6):
“What’s this?”
“For the croissant.”
“It’s too much.”
“Plus a tip.”
“You don’t tip the owner, Mr. Bernie.”
“That’s what my mother always said.”
“Is she still alive?”
“Oh, yes.”
“She must be proud of you.”
Bernie’s mom – a piece of work – was suddenly in the conversation? She lived in Florida but had visited us last Christmas, bringing her new husband. He wore a white leather belt and said that bad times were the best times for making money. Bernie’s mom had told Bernie to give that some thought. The subject of being proud of him hadn’t come up.

Happy Boo bear day to all!
We left it several things in that snippet.
Wow where is the friend of the month reminder? Today is April 30.
Is all of this going to affect the beginnings on Monday? We love the beginnings.
