I LOVE THIS! Your writing is so tender Alison. This must go into your collection and when it comes out in a book, will you sign it for me? The way you’ve incorporated your young nephews, your own childhood, apples - past and present - is beautifully done! 👏 Brava

Thank you for sharing your delightful memories, of your trip to pick the tasty treat we all look forward to enjoying this time of year. I shared part of your story with your oldest nephew this week. He smiled as I read it to him and he was quick to chime in as to who was capturing the videos and who was holding hands in your story!

Perhaps your first book will be a collection of your adventures with your nephews! I would buy your book!

That young nephew would certainly remember every detail of our trip!
