They stepped through the stained glass window, of course! He was awfully cute, and his weird ideas always led them to amazing adventures. What chance that this portal to another world might lead them into trouble this time?
He grabbed her hand and they stepped out onto a ledge, in the middle of a field of fragrant grasses. The ground rumbled, and both tumbled, and rolled down the hill, like famed Jack and Jill.
His lederhosen and her sweet dirndl had replaced their grubby jeans and T-shirts. The portal winked out. Behind them, the red-eyed rabbits began to gather.

Ha ha! The ‘Other’ cook book was written by ‘Little Green Men…’ But your idea is fun too.
Kind of sad though that ‘Julia’ didn’t have any of her own…

I enjoyed the rhyming in “The ground rumbled, and both tumbled, and rolled down the hill, like famed Jack and Jill.”
I’d love to see them explore more of this world! And those rabbits gathering instead of being skittish… I can’t help but think of the white rabbit from Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

Love Monty Python! And those savage rabbits are legion in those monk-inscribed books, from way back when (one of those fun things that pop up in my FB feed).
