I had Archie, Ella, Daphne and Jack all snuggled up in my bed on a snowy cold winter night. Claud was on a business trip. I told the children a story before they fell asleep. Out of my imagination came the story of Sasparilla Villa. She is a young girl who teaches her family and her village about compassion and sharing. Also, because everything I do or think is food related, Sasparilla’s mom makes amazing bread. The story was published on Authspot.com. It will be the first in a series of Sassy Stories.
