     Miki tried to think of what else to say.  'The weather is very
beautiful, but my life is so boring.  I wish something exciting would

this must be some kind of dream.  The scent of lemon frosting wafted
through the air into her nostrils from the kitchen, making her smile.  Mom

Heh. Cute ... but, is it really something Urd would say?
