My publisher, best friend, greatest
supporter and loving husband Renato Floris and I took this picture (below) for my grandson. He requested the photo because someone gave him a
little plastic snow globe which could hold a photograph...so for the
past few years we have been sitting in a tiny snow storm on the head
board of his bed.
This photo was taken in December of
2011, just after we returned to Turin from Morocco. Our
newly-renovated apartment would hold a surprise for us. The new
hardwood floors were installed over a heating system which,
unbeknownst to us had not been seasoned. When we turned on the heat,
the fumes from the adhesive in the floor were toxic. We were soon
refugees living with friends for a few months while the situation was
remedied. I guess this photo was taken in the brief time frame after
heat was turned on and before the poison air chased us away.
Leeloo looks like she has seen a ghost.
Did she have a premonition?
