Hi @weinerdog! Glad you are reading this series. I have to say I am impressed at the speed you are blazing thru the series. Remember to stay hydrated and get some naps as you binge!

Page is alway

I trust in Gary, Albert, Clo, Page, Dugh, and Bucket. They stick to the truth, not the Drewth!

That's the truth, even if your exceptions were very obnoxious!

Yes we can! We all know your Drewth is not the truth! Just take it as a compliment that you are an expert teacher of BS.

This sounds like a great read for Pride month! I'll have to look it up. Oh, oh! That's the teacher in me speaking. Since I retired, I have been interested in reading books at a more mature level. Hope Max gets to read it!

As a long time reader of the series, I would say that the reason and timing of this information was perfect. It was hinted at a little in other stories, but not essential to the plot. I always knew that Giaco was wearing a mask, but not the reason why. You did great James! However, @drpaladin's points about Marco was excellent.

Dani's folks are very special parents. They both support him 100%. They also know how to give him advice that is neither judgmental or biased, but gives him the courage to reach out to Giaco. Giaco and Dani back together again is heartwarming. Their relationship may have reverted back to best friends from boyfriends, but at that age it is OK by me. At least now, I think they will be open and honest in all their communication. That's a great block on which to establish a lasting relationship of love. Dani proved it by telling about Marco, and Giaco by admitting his love for Dani as well as explaining why he acted the way he did before. I hadn't realize how deeply he was hurt by his father abandoning the family. The birthday gift was great even though telling Giaco about Marco was awkward. Cosmos is now aware that Dani and Giaco know what he is doing. Cosmos is young and bound to make mistakes, I hope someone can help him. Getting into the family business shouldn't be the only option for a 16 year old. Luca seems to have no love for his brother, but maybe with Emily's influence will be able to help him. Of course, I'm sure that Dani will be in on the process if that comes about.

It was nice to see that Father Stefano is still around. He has great influence in the community and acts selflessly to bring stability to the village. The day with Sami was fun, especially when he caught Marco and Dani and sussed out what was happening. It was also good to know that Emily and Luca are back together. The day was awkward for Dani and Marco. Dani has not let Giaco go. He keeps thinking of Giaco and comparing him to Marco. He and Marco may be giving it a go, but it didn't look like it was going anywhere. I didn't surprise me that Marco could tell from their kiss that Dani wasn't feeling for Marco what Dani did for Giaco. Marco is a great kid and deserves his own special love. I am happy Marco has the courage and strength to get past this thanks to the support and love given him by Gianni and Angelo. Now Dani is going to have to swallow his pride, and heal the damage to Giaco's heart. Hmm...Sounds like there are only four more chapters to get Dani and Giaco back together and have them getting ride of the gun problems in Ravello. I'm looking forward to a lot of thrills and chills in these next chapters.

I wonder what would happen if he has a girl that is gay or transgendered? I'm sure he'll accept it, but might be overprotective of the kid when it comes to football.

As the family grows and the boys and girls get older, it is getting a lot harder to plan and prepare for vacations. With the older ones getting married, I suspect there will be a growing number of problems arranging holidays like Christmas in the future also. I am glad that GG seems to be helping Louise.

I think @Albert1434 is already in Larkspur and several chapters ahead!

Nailed it!

Some may call that generous on your part, but it was hard work for me to get you there.

We're doing great! Just loafing around today. How are you, Morgan and Max?

Great gifs Johnny! Hope you make it to Larkspur!

I did enjoy it very much. I'll start Larkspur today! See you in the comments. Hopefully, @Albert1434, @Dan South, @JohnnyC and @Doha will join me!

OMG! You must be a mind reader @weinerdog.

I have to admit that Drew is much more flexible in the PMs, but generous? I'll have to think on that one.🤔

Here's a link that might help. It is to The Mustard Jar, Ronyx's website in the Links section. The Fort website, became The Fort Family websites. Check thru the links here and you will find many if not most of The Fort Family sites that working now. There are 10 website links for the Fort Family sites listed. I hope this helps you. https://www.themustardjar.com/?t=cecAt7uzvUcNixtU

Not a problem for me. I get crazy and use the all the time.

Hey Spike! How are you doing? Hope you had a great weekend. Did that Texas terror of yours try to raid you herd this weekend? Remember when negotiating with him you can include clauses to limit his environment damages, nukes, save species and insist on fair trade. I suggest you get Page to do the same job he does in Drew and my agreement. Have fun today!

Hi Clo! How is your weekend going? Know any good recipes for beef?

I agree Albert! I love it too. For me it was full of hope and understanding. I had to get the tissues out again.

Dreams like that are devastating. I am sure that the dreams are derived from Boone's fear of losing Coy, more than just reliving his fall into the river.
