In Icelandic
The elderly women were already seated when the young man climbed onto the bus. The minute he sat down, they started talking—in Icelandic.
"He's so handsome," said one of the women.
"Yes," the other agreed. "I wonder if he's married."
Her friend nudged her arm. "Oh, go on. You're much too old."
"Not for me—for my granddaughter. But if I were forty years younger."
They shared a giggle.
The subject of their attention pulled the cord, requesting the bus driver to stop. The young man offered them a smile as he passed their bench. "Have a good day, ladies," he said—in Icelandic.
Next Post: Books with pictures aren't just for children. On Sunday, September 30, I share my favourite illustrated books for adults.

Sharing my author journey...
You: It's summer's end, Leanne. How did you do with your spring and summer projects?
Me: Well...
truth be told, I was still working on the last manuscript as summer fell into autumn.
An entire summer's worth of work...
9 picture books for children
4 short novels for adults
4 short story collections for adults
fit into one plastic folder. This folder will be given--along with my appreciation--to my beta reader.
Oh, yes and my spring project of sorting through my computer files...? That's a never-ending challenge. I'm currently on 'P'. Hopefully, I'll reach 'Z' before my computer dies. Wish me luck.
