  1. Yeah, the money thing is an issue I never really resolved. I don't want Dylan to be a trust fund baby but they aren't poor. I'm conflicted on how to fix that problem, which I will when I revise it. Wait until you meet Abby! Grrrr!!!
  2. They will make great dads. Still trying to figure out how to do that!
  3. Nanna is awesome! I'm playing here with the concept of memory. How we remember things can be altered, changed as we imagine it differently. However, I do think a kernel of the event remains lodged there. It creates the tension that can make us do odd things.
  4. We always look forward to hearing what those voices urge you to do Sasha! I understand that feeling. "whispers hint, Direct Confusion*
  5. Thanks Valkyrie! It was a hard chapter to write. Cody will not return in this story. Raleigh's history molded him. It made him understand how precious his new friends truly are. Remember Isaac's been carrying him through this. It's not new to him.
  6. I'm seeing I didn't respond Jo Ann back then! How did I miss this? It's like a stroll down memory Lane.
  7. Just saw this! They are a couple of fiery cuties and have a nice future ahead!
  8. I love the dinner party scene. As I mention, stories accompany dinner. That's why the idea of dinner theaters always delighted me except most have food that isn't exactly gourmet. This is such fun. It's like a blast from the past for me! Thanks Valkyrie for doing this.
  9. I had the idea of Gift of the Magi in mind but there is no real cost to either of them. Well, except they both worried it would upset the other. You are right, they are both very sensitive.
  10. Thanks so much Valkyrie! You have great insight. I hope you continue enjoying the boys.
  11. Kevin and Button are both early bloomers. That makes them start to think about their feelings more. Camp was a new experience for Button. He is gaining confidence and growing up. Thanks so much for the review Rebel. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
  12. Thanks Bob!! I'm trying to make the relationships as realistic as possible. I remember the churning popularity and friend trades that happened right around middle school. It's a topsy turvy time for kids.
  13. Thanks Avid! They are growing up and with it are growing pains. There are budding friendships in the works that will hopefully surprise and delight. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it.
  14. That would be interesting now wouldn't it? Your instincts are pretty good but you'll have to wait and see!!!! Thanks for the review!!!
  15. Puberty is just starting to kick in. There will be a lot more angst, heartache, and fun coming up in the next couple of chapters. Thanks for the review LadyDe!
  16. Thirteen Mile Camp “Let’s go over the rules again, k?” Button’s camp counselor Paul said with a sour look on his face. “Under no circumstances are you supposed to go into the water or the woods by yourself. We use the buddy system here and it’s for safety’s sake. Got it?” All the kids shuffled around looking down. It was Wednesday and they were in trouble. Last night a girl had gone missing and she was found lost on the other side of the lake. She was really upset and now they were all g
  17. Thanks so much Renee! I had an awesome week.

    Chapter 9

    Great job with resolving the cliffhanger. Emotional but measured. I liked the pacing and the balancing of the storyline. Your use of Penguin is fantastic, after all it is named after him. I wonder about Trevor and how Daniel got sucked in. That is my only question. I love this story. Very well told! Thank you for telling it.

    Thanks LadyDe! I love hearing the comments. Wanting to know Jim and Kevin better means you like the characters which is definitely a good thing! Kevin only had dreams following the shooting. I can see that is confusing. Maybe they will make a reappearance in the future. Hmmm...

    Good points! I guess when I'm working on a device and idea story sometimes the back story gets the short end of the stick. I really like Jim and Kevin's characters so i probably should have given them more development. I was giving Si and Wayne equal time though i prolly didnt need to. Things to consider. Thank you for the review and insightful comments.
  21. Clippers “Over here we keep the towels. It is part of your responsibility to keep them washed and stocked,” Tina said. Jim nodded enthusiastically, his golden blonde ponytail bobbing in agreement. He was shadowing her at his new job. “No problem. I’ll make sure I keep the racks full.” Tina was being nice if a bit brusque. She rushed through the salon quickly. Jim hoped he didn’t miss anything. “Good. Over here is the washer and dryer. The salon spent a lot of money getting the high
  22. Happy Birthday!! Hope you had a great day.
  23. Thank you so much. I'll be liking up a storm as soon as i get more. Im so grateful to you all!
  24. Thank you so much! This site and you guys have been so good to me. I'm so honored and after such a wonderful birthday, I'm out of likes for the day! Now I'm teary eyed again and it feels so good!
  25. I got the deep fat fryer I wanted and my favorite candy from Ran. Falafel, scotch eggs and tempura coming up. People at work had donuts for me. Lots of nice cards. And this surprise...it was wonderful. Thanks! Still got date night on Friday to look forward to.
