    I agree, Craig. Overthinking is something he is prone to do, and he's never had his heart on the line like it is now. Even with Vincent, he always knew how it would end. He has no trouble admitting to himself he loves Lucas, but has no plans to reveal that. Is that smart? He thinks he can be happy with only friendship, but I'm not so sure. Still, the land has swayed him, and he feels at home in this area. That has to count for a lot. Finding the herd maybe gave him some hope, and like he thinks at the end of the chapter, there are no guarantees in life for anything or anyone. That tells me he will take whatever comes. Thanks, buddy.

    Hi, mayday. This chapter was different, and I found it almost refreshing in a strange way. I believe Jubal's fears were soothed by the fact he could do something proactive for the herd... and he can tell Lucas he found them. We don't know what Lucas will think about Jubal not visiting for a day, but maybe it was what he needed too. Or... maybe not. Thank you, my friend. I hope you enjoyed this one. With so much introspection from Jubal, I found the chase kind of exhilarating.

    The crowd did spook him, Doc, and he's been battling ever since to get out of that frame of mind. I'm glad you see the wildings as symbolic. That's how I saw them too. Always ready to run, and susceptible to dangers at every turn. Paranoia keeps them alive... most of the time. I believe you're right that chase was what he needed. He has to feel good about finding and protecting the herd, and maybe finding that poor foal and its mother helped him put things in perspective. Cheers and thanks, my friend.

    I think Michael surprised himself. The thing is, good people make good parents, and Michael and Kendall are really good people. I absolutely loved writing them. Yeah, I like how you say Michael told the truth instead of acting like he knew all the answers. Nobody does. Thanks, buddy.

    No Guarantees Jubal couldn’t remember feeling more lost, not knowing whether he be coming or going. He was also plumb wore out from thinking and trying to corral his thoughts. Dinah was walking slow back to the farm in the heat of the afternoon, and that be fine with him. The creak of the wagon and the sway of the seat springs lulled his mind a mite, and that’s what he sorely needed. After he left Lucas and Reid, he’d done something stupid, and had a bunch more people—dif

    Lucky you!

    Well... I made/recycled bells out of the glass tops of old garden lights, putting green garland on their tops and hooking long red ornaments into the middle of them... I did that years ago, and they hang from the chains that hold my geraniums in summer... they sway in the wind and the red ornaments twirl. Pretty. I hung double bells (big ones from the dollar store... some red and some gold) on the front chains... put big green, red, and white candy canes along the walls of the back veranda, and hung snowmen and penguins on the front and on the back house walls and around the entry doors. Got those from the dollar store too, years ago, and they are indestructible... they shimmer in the lights.

    Chapter 9

    Headstall commented on Mancunian's story chapter in Chapter 9

    Lots happening here, and all of it good. This is about as heartwarming a story as I've read in a long time. Sometimes... just sometimes... the world is a decent and kind place. These are all good people, and you've done a good job of piecing this together so far. The guitar sequence got me good. Cheers! G

    Hey, all! Raining here at the moment. I put up outside Christmas decorations yesterday.

    Aloha, Albert.
  13. Headstall
    Yeah, this is true. Wherever they go, I don't see them to spring or later. Hey, bro and Mum. Sorry to hear you have covid. Look after yourselves.

    What? No home cooking?

    Chapter 45 Redraw

    Headstall commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 45 Redraw

    Kendall always knows exactly what to do. It's why I love writing him so much. A lot happens in this chapter, but Mark is on the right track, and that is the main thing. That was a lot of torment for a young man to carry, and now Nate can go back to being a kid again, confident his dad loves him, and more importantly, knowing he doesn't hate him for who he is. Thanks, buddy.

    Lol. Pouting doesn't work on me, buddy. Now a good meal is a different story.
  17. Headstall
    I just bet you are. Still not going to let you tickle me, though. I practically go into convulsions when it happens.
  18. Headstall
    I think he would be everyone's bet. He is a very loved character, especially by Kendall.
  19. Headstall
    Oh, it'll be Michael, hands down. He's the biggest kid of all.
  20. Headstall
    My feet are ticklish, and I hate being tickled. So... A massage would be good, though.
  21. Headstall
    Yup, I know all about that manipulation from my own four kids. They were experts at tag teaming, usually getting what they wanted. Nate is a clever lad, and it appears Bodie is too. We'll see.
  22. Headstall
    Lol. Thanks, buddy. I just had a lovely walk in the woods with my dog. It is mild out for December, but I bundled up anyway.
  23. Headstall
    Hello, all. @clochette look after yourself.
  24. Headstall
    The turkeys have disappeared. They likely flew south for the winter... there are no tracks in my woods. Hey, B.
  25. Headstall
    Isn't he though? Like Kendall said, there are two of him. He's being forced to grow up fast, but he is still a kid. This chapter is one of my favorites of the whole story arc. Acceptance from your family is great, but finding a friend your own age is equally important to a teenager. SO happy you love Nate, buddy. Thanks for this.
